warning if folder content was added over xxx months ago

I am trying to make a rule that will check a folder to see if its contents has been left in there for a certain amount of time.

I have a "go into subfolders" rule set up then am setting up a rule called "Forgotten Images"

so far I have

If all of the following conditions are met for the file or folder being matched:

File path contains •Raw Images
Date added is not in the last 3 months
Kind is Images

Do the following:
run applescript (apple script sends a iChat message to the relevant people)

This works, but it sends a separate message for each file matched, which could lead to the use being bombarded with messages, I would prefer to find a way for it to act on the Folder and just send a message saying this folder has images that were added over 3 months ago.

Code: Select all
if (all) of the following conditions are met for (any of its sub-files or folders):
     …

Do the following to the matched file or folder:
     …


EDIT - I'll highlight the change that I'm suggesting here: Change (the file or folder being matched) to (any of its sub-files or folder)

Weird, I moved the topic to Support and answered the question but the thread is still here and my post disappeared. Probably some weird bug since a_freyer posted at around the same time.

Follow his advice but I just wanted to point out that you shouldn't post questions in the Tips forum. There's a sticky article at the top telling you not do this.

a_freyer's answer should work. Can you post your rule(s)?
