TICKET ARCHIVE -> Automatic Color Labeling

toksuri - Aug 6, 2005 - 7:47 pm

I would like to know if there is any script or if it is somehow possible to make Mac OS X color label a file once you open it. For example, I have a folder full of videos. I want every file to get labeled as red once I open it. Something similar to "visited link color" in a browser.

Thank you.

You can probably do this a couple of ways. One would be to have an Applescript that would take your selected files and add a Finder Label to them (the red one, presumably) and then open the files.

Another way might be to take that script and make it a Folder Action for a folder called "Viewed Video". Dropping a video on that folder would 1. file it in that folder, 2. add the Finder label, and 3. Open the video.

Hope this helps.
