Folder Actions

Similar to Watch Folders and Droplets Folder Actions can be used to process files with iFlicks.

A folder action script might look similar to the following code.

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
	repeat with this_file in added_items
		tell application "iFlicks 2"
			-- open file
			open this_file

			-- adjust settings and start
			repeat with this_video in videos
				if file of this_video as string is this_file as string then
					-- modify settings and metadata
					set comment of this_video to "Added by by Watch Folder"
					-- start processing
					start this_video
				end if
			end repeat
		end tell
	end repeat
end adding folder items to

Note: In general it is easier and preferred to use watch folders together with rules to accomplish the same thing.
