Watching a Different Folder
However, if you want to watch another folder for changes, you can do that with Folder Actions. The Automator app makes it easy to set these up.
- Open Automator
- Select Folder Action and click Choose
- Use the Choose Folder pop-up button to select the folder to monitor
- Drag the Add Files to Keep It action from the middle column to add it
- Change the Add by pop-up to "Moving"
- Change any other options, if necessary
- Choose File > Save from the menu
- Enter a name for the folder action and click Save
Now, whenever a file is added to that folder, it'll be moved to Keep It.
