Can you enter folder name as Spotlight comment? Sun Jul 31, 2011 12:05 pm • by photon
Is it possible to 'get' the folder name and add it to Spotlight comments for every file added to it?

For example, I have a folder called Woodworking that I would like to add that word as a Spotlight comment when I add a new file to the folder.

Additionally, it would be great if within the folder there are other folders (Desks, Tools, etc.) that would also have that characteristic so that a file added to Desks would have both comment words, Woodworking and Desks.

Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

There's no way to do that now. You would need to write a script for this type of thing.
