11.1. Enabling Folder ActionsDon't lose sleep imagining the possibilitiesyet. Before you start linking up scripts to your folders, you first have to turn on folder actions on a system-wide level. Luckily, that's a simple procedure: just Control-click anywhere on the desktop, and choose Enable Folder Actions from the shortcut menu. That tells your Mac to start paying attention to all the folder changes you make, and to trigger scripts accordingly.
You won't see anything different in the Finder, but folder actions are now available for any folder on your Mac. |
