When you installed DT Pro two simple Folder Action scripts should have been installed; Boot Volume (default name is Macintosh HD) Library > Scripts > Folder Action Scripts/. Look in that location for these two scripts:
- Action Import.scpt
- Action Index.scpt
The first script, when attached to a folder, will automatically Import to DT Pro files added to the folder.
The second script, when attached to a folder, will automatically Index to DT Pro files added to the folder.
The files will be saved to your top-most view of your database. If you wish, you can examine some to the sample scripts posted in the Scripting topic on the Forum to modify the scripts to either send the added content to a specific group, or to query you for the location each time a file is added.
In the Finder, click on Help > Mac Help and search for Folder Action for instructions on how to enable a Folder Action script.
You might also consider using the Groups panel to add content to any desired group in your database.
How to use the Groups panel:
[1] In DT Pro Preferences > General Interface: Make sure that the option Hide “Groups” panel when inactive is not checked.
[2] Select Tools > Show Groups. Move the panel to the right side of your screen, then minimize it to the Dock. It will then be available as a floating panel in any application when you click on the icon in the Dock.
[3] In the Finder, select one or more files that you would like to capture to your database. Click on the Groups icon in the Dock to make it available.
[4] To Import (copy) the selected file(s) to your database, simply drag the selected file(s) to the desired group in the Groups panel and release (drop) the file(s).
[5] To Index (link) the selected files, do a Command-Option-Drag & Drop of the selected file(s) to the desired location in the Groups panel.
When finished, minimize the Groups panel back to the Dock.
Tip: If you are going to drag a file to a subgroup, click on the triangle symbol of the enclosing group first, to make it easier to ‘hit’ the desired location.
