Script: Opening added item with Folder Action

Does anyone know, how to open an item (or the group) and bring it to the front immediately after it was added to Devonthink with a Folder Action Script? Thanks.

In the script above, change

set theRecord to import thePath to theGroup
-- if exists theRecord then tell application "Finder" to delete theItem

to this

set theRecord to import thePath to theGroup
-- if exists theRecord then tell application "Finder" to delete theItem
set openMe to open window for record theRecord

It was not deleting the file for me so I added the missing part.

I see I never responded to this, I see. Personally, I don’t want DEVONthink deleting things for me. Folder actions are not 100% reliable in OS X – they can fail. I intentionally did not include the code to have Finder delete documents. For me, it is not an improvement or something missing. It’s no thing to go clean up that folder when I’m sure the action succeeeded. So, that’s why in the code above I commented out the suggested addition. Add it back, for those who want.
