10.4: Automate Spotlight comment tags via AppleScript
Well this seems silly to me. You're creating a spotlight comment to make files easier to find, but in order to get that comment, the files have to be placed in a specific folder in the first place. Doesn't being in the same folder make them easy enough to find without the comment?

Clearly none of you work with a temporary folder -- I use them all the time, and this script is perfect. Everything that flows through the temporary folder gets tagged, and when it's later permanently filed, Spotlight already knows about it.

Perhaps the folder that triggers is a subfolder of the user's drop box. The user then moves the files to various other folders, where the files each retain the appropriate comments.

i use this script to tag the files in a certain mailbox-folder. mail.app pushes the mails directly into the mailbox and now they get spotlight-tagged automatically.
