macOS A terribly basic question. How do I put my Applescript where it should be?

[AitchB]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post as I've only just started to try Applescript.

I have a script that I wish to attach to a folder but cannot see how to attach it.

The script was saved in iCloud/Script Editor
I moved the script to ...>Users / me / library / scripts (on the iMac)

I right click on the test folder and go to Folder Actions Setup...
It will not show the Applescript.

Can some kind person tell me what I am doing wrong and is there a very basic book, video or something that I could get some basic info before going any further?

I do understand scripting and with a bit of help should achieve something but at the start, I am lost!

Here's hoping,

Henry

In Folder Actions Setup, click on the little plus sign at the bottom of the left column. That opens a file picker where you select your script.

Thanks Chabig, I can do that but the script I want is not shown!

You'll have to navigate to your Library/Scripts folder in order to see the file.

This what I do:
Wrote the script "Flickr". Saved it in iCloud Script Editor then moved it to the iMac - user / me / library / scripts
I click on my desktop folder, "Test Folder" and click on Folder Actions Setup...
Its window opens.
In one window my "Test Folder" is selected.
In the other window, I see "On" and "Script"
I click the + sign and I receive a list of all the scripts available.
My script "Flickr" is not listed!

Hope that explains it better.
[doublepost=1526655124][/doublepost]My bad !!!

I was moving it to my user/me/library/Scripts... etc.
It should have been: iMac /library/Scripts/Script Editor Scripts/Folder Action Handlers
(for anyone else that might get puzzled)

Thanks. You helped clear my mind. Now off to play.

PS It worked too !!!
