Printing via Folder Actions?

Asked by bpeoples (2551points) December 4th, 2007

I’m looking for a method on a Mac to take JPEGs in a folder and send them to a photo printer. But wait—the JPEGs will be continuously added to this folder (i.e., tethered shooting), so in theory the script will want to look for new files, print them, and then remove them from the folder.

Probably easy enough, but my previous attempts to do folder actions “on change” didn’t work so well.

One option is to just have a script that loops every second, and takes all files in the folder and throws them to a printing application? That’s how I’d do it on a unix box =)

Thanks!
