That is not the correct form for smart rule scripts. You must be using the on performSmartRule() handler. This is added automatically in the smart rule action so you had to have deleted it. See the Automation chapter of the built-in Help and manual.
PS: Why are you tagging documents as resizedbefore they’ve been resized?
Another question, why is it when the action is “when opening” every time I open that item it resize it? Same thing with “after synchronization” any update to the file it resizes it.
it thats normal behaviour, then the action should be labeled “On open very time”
on performSmartRule(theRecords)
tell application id "DNtp"
repeat with theRecord in theRecords
if (type of theRecord is picture) then -- Shouldn't be necessary if smart rule criteria is set up correctly. However, it's not bad to error trap your code.
set recPath to (path of theRecord as string)
tell application "Image Events"
set theImage to open recPath
set {w, h} to dimensions of theImage -- Using a variable here is to satisfy an issue with Image Events.
scale theImage to size ((w / 2) as integer) -- Halving one dimension works as the scaling retains the aspect ratio of the original
save theImage
end tell
end if
set tags of theRecord to (tags of theRecord & "resized")
end repeat
end tell
end performSmartRule
