Shared folders so common a thing that no one today is not that surprised. Of course, that the files of any collective project easier and more convenient to store it in a shared folder - on the internal server, or "Dropbokse", it does not matter. But here's the problem: how do you know that in this folder someone put new data, if no one is not specifically warned about this?
Surely, you can "pripahali" some third-party utilities to report new data in a particular folder. But why, if it is possible to use the built-in OS X, which in the "apple" of OSes that have been around for years? This is the so-called action and folders - "Avtomatore".
Launching Automator program in a dialogue to create a new process to select Action Folder (Folder Action). In the process (where going to a chain of actions) you will see a cap, which is a single drop-down list. With it, select the directory for the contents of the system is to follow.
Now, in the sidebar "Avtomatora" select the library section Files and folders (Files and Folders)
Where action should be Show Finder objects (Reveal Finder Items). Drag it to the process - it automatically snaps to the "cap", taking in the previously selected folder as the input argument.Everything! That's so easy to create effective means of signaling that It will fire whenever the specified directory you will be new files or folders (This, in fact, the actions of the folders in OS X and designed). Whenever this happens, you created a process to be opened in the "Finder" specified directory where the new data will already be selected.
Alternatively, the process can be supplemented by another effect called Flag Finder label objects (Label Finder Items)By the color of the label, which all new files and folders will be celebrated - just in case you do not forget. ;)
Save the process under convenient for you to name - and you can use it.
Housekeeping tip. Since the process is created by the action of the folder, it can be easily off when needed. To do this, open a Finder window and locate the directory that you created the action was tied. By clicking on the right-click the directory in the pop-up menu, choose Service> Settings folder actions (Service> Folder Actions Setup). In the window that appears you can uncheck the name of the process that the system has ceased to perform on new data in the above-mentioned data folder. If you need to quickly make changes to the process, press the button Change process (Edit Script)Which immediately opens the action right into the "Avtomatore".
