Attaching Folder Action Scripts

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Classic Mac OS

Hi,

My Mac that I used to use to create folder action scripts died a few days ago, so I’m trying to create folder action scripts on other Macs now. When I Control-Click a folder, there isn’t an option to attach a folder action script. Is there something I have to do to enable folder actions? The Mac that died was running OS 9.2.2, and I’ve tried it out on Macs with 8.6, 9.2 and OS X, and no dice…

Thanks!! :slight_smile: :smiley:

With OS 8 & 9, you have to enable an extension called “Folder Actions” before you can get the contextual menu option. The extension’s also scriptable. With OS X, there are some scripts supplied that use System Events to enable and attach actions.
