This is a great script. I’m using Dropbox to synch my Things database so that I have it at work and home but I’m trying to find a way for my little automator script to determine that Dropbox is done synching and then launch Things.

Script works great. Thanks!

I wonder, rather than copying a file to my dropbox folder when the script runs, is there a way to ‘move’ the file to my dropbox folder?

So that way I don’t have two copies of the file?

Thanks!

Oops, pasted code from google search. Should be something like this:

“Macintosh HD:Users:username:Documents:SendtoDropbox.app”

I created a small .scpt file to trigger a FastScripts keyboard shortcut:

tell application “Finder” to open the selection using “Macintosh HD:Users:Jono:Documents:File A.app”

How would I or could you possibly create a .scpt file to go with it so I just select a file and hit a keyboard shortcut to send the file to the .app file.

Dont really know AppleScript, maybe a dumb question but this would be more useful to me.

Thanks. I implemented the script as a snow leopard service so you can just right click on a file and run the script. Also added that, if you’re trying to run it on a file that’s already in your dropbox/public, it won’t re-copy the file there but still give you the public URL

Thanks for the script – it works as advertised… unless you filename has spaces in it. I’m going to take a crack at modifying your code to see if i can get it to work regardless, but i thought i’ld give you a heads up.

thanks!e
