Hi,

I want to make an Automator app, which automatically checks wether my TV series directory on my external HDD (Volumes/External HD/TV Series) includes any empty series folders (e.g.: Volumes/External HD/TV Series/"Series Titel").

If a series folder is empty, it should be labeled with the color red.

If it stores one or more episodes, nothing should happen.
Each episode is stored in its very own folder (e.g: Volumes/External HD/TV Series/"Series Titel"/"Episode Titel"/"Episode.Titel".mkv).

The folder actions should run in regular intervals, at least each time a new folder - series folder and/or episode folder - are added.
The "TV Series" folder and the episode folders should remain unlabeled.

Any ideas on how I could accomplish this? Or is it too complex for Automator?
I'm currently running the latest version of Lion (10.7.1).

Thanks.
