Folder actions are assigned to folder(s) that process items that are being added to the folder(s).
What do you want it to do exactly? What is the script?

If the script is AppleScript then you can create the folder action in Automator and put the script in the “Run AppleScript” action.

I don’t use Photoshop so I’m not familiar with its command syntax, but the first thing that I would look into is the do script part since the script executes fine up to this point. It’s do action that errs out. What is this do action… from… about? Could you post the code?
