Actually, in Leopard, Folder Actions are triggered by notification of the file system. The poll property is for special circumstances and is generally not used (hence the high poll rate). As for the other commands, they're good for testing and triggering actions via Apple Events. ;-)

You're right but I've got so many segmentation faults or malloc errors on Console with FolderActions that polling seems to be used instead of notifications
