I can not seem to get folder actions to function when the folder is closed. Even the example scripts designed to be triggered when something is added to a folder do not work unless the folder is open (i.e. they do not work when something is dropped onto the folder icon, or saved into the folder if the folder window is closed). Is there something I am doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks!

Folder Actions by default don't work on a closed folder,
how ever they do have a "closing folder window for" verb you
could attach to a folder, it would be executed when a folder is
closed here is an example:

on closing folder window for theFolder
display dialog "" & theFolder & return & "Was Just Closed" buttons "OK" default button 1
end closing folder window for

Folder Actions Plus
by Eric Grant, Is a extension that alows Folder Actions To Be Atached to Closed Folders.

Myself I wonder if there is a "Speed" hit associated with this extension, as I have yet to use it. keep me posted if you notice any

Hope This Helps
