I have a photo database that stores JPG in a folder structure created by the metadata in the JPG
eg
PhotoDatabase
------customerID
----------TypeOfWork
---------------file is named date/time.jpg
I'm looking for a rule that will watch the PhotoDatabase folder and run a script when there are any changes within it.
presently I have it setup as -

If all of the following conditions are met for the file or folder being matched
- kind is Folder
- Date Last Modifed is after Date Last Matched

Do the following to matched file or folder:
-Run shell script embedded script


This works as long as something changes within the top level of the folder system. If I watch the Get Info of the top level folder date modified doesn't change when a file or folder is added 3 or 4 folders deep. The only thing that does change is the Size. So is there any way to setup a Size is larger than Size last matched or any other way or script to do the same.

Thanks in Advance

Are you running the script on the folder or the file that changes within the folder?

In either case, look at "Run rules on folder contents"

Ok problem solved

I need 2 rules see below

Rule 1 - Go into subfolders (check out sticky in top of support - you can download the rule)

Rule 2 -

If all of the following conditions are met for the file or folder being matched
Kind is image
Date Added is Today

do the following to matched file folder:
Run shell script embedded script

Thanks a_freyer for pointing me in the right direction
