Mac has one of the interesting features in which it allows the users to be notified of the file changes in case there are any. There is a special method through which this service can be attained. The following steps will direct the user upon activating the folder action.
- Go to the folder that you want to monitor for its actions and right click on it
- From the menu of options that pops up, choose “configure folder action”
- This will bring up the Folder Actions Setup in front of the user
- Go over to the plus “+” sign to add the folder(s) that you want to bring the action upon
- Once the “+” sign is clicked, it will initiate another screen that will display up
- Go at the folder you want to monitor and access the “Open” button for it
- This will bring up a screen of available AppleScripts
- Go to “add – new item alert.scrpt” available in the list of available scripts
- Click upon the “Attach” button
- Do assure yourself that the “Enable Folder Actions” is tick marked.
- Once done, close all the folder actions setup window(s) and exit.
