Folder action to import specific file types

DEVONthink Tips

Hi there,

unfortunately I have no idea about apple scripts and I tried different things, but was not able to do that…

I just want to import only some file types with a folder action, so I tried to change the existing ones (they exclude file types, but to exclude all the types I want…)

So, what do I have to do to change the import script so It is importing only PDFs and Microsoft documents?

Many thanks in advance!

Just curious, but can’t you only put those file types in the folder so that’s all that gets imported?

Quite easy. I download a lot invoices and so on from different webservices to my download folder. So, my idea was to use there a folder action for that kind of ducuments, as it will save some time and additional steps. :wink:
