Thanks Jason,
Here's the folder script I attached to my Autofile Folder:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
property dialog_timeout : 30 -- set the amount of time before dialogs
auto-answer.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_item
try
--generate list of PDF files in Auto File folder
tell application "Finder"
set Alist to name of every file of folder this_folder as text
end tell
set thePath to POSIX path of added_item
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/"
set thefilename to text item -1 of thePath
--assuming auto file file format adds an underscore (_01) when
duplicating a pdf
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "_"
set theshortfilename to (text item -1 of thefilename) as text
if theshortfilename is in Alist then
set the alert_message to "This PDF exists, would you like to
see the copy?"
display dialog the alert_message buttons {"Yes", "No"} default
button 2 with icon 1 giving up after dialog_timeout
set the user_choice to the button returned of the result
if user_choice is "Yes" then
tell application "Finder"
activate
open this_folder
reveal the added_item
end tell
end if
end if
end try
end adding folder items to
