Currently I'm using AppleScript to work on files and then send them out to different folders on different servers. But I'm running into problems where users don't know that their file is finished because the icon doesn't appear in their folder. If they click on the window the icon will appear, but if they don't they can't tell if it's there or not. A friend gave me an idea of attaching a script to these different folders that updates them every so often. AS does have the term 'update' but I've got to use it on each user's Finder in order for them to see it correctly.
Does anyone know if there's a better way to do this using Perl or another method? I was hoping that if there's a good way to do this that I could add it to AS as a 'do shell script'. Thanks. Jay
