I'm looking for a way to move files that show up in one folder to another before they get deleted.
I'm trying to debug an application and I need to capture all its tmp files by moving them to a new folder. The application creates and deletes files very quickly, and I've managed to preserve a few by manually moving them in finder.
I've also tried Automator and ActionScripts but they don't get triggered unless I move files into that folder. I've also tried a looping bash script to move * from that folder but it doesn't get all the small files.
Not sure if there's some auto duplicating or even preventing files from being deleted abilities.
