Copy a File into Multiple Subfolders

When a subfolder reaches a certain size (say 10 files in a subfolder) I would like to copy a file into that folder.

So, when subfolder A has 10 files inside, I would like to copy a file "10.gif" into it.
If subfolder A grows to 25 files, I would like to copy a new file "25.gif" into it.

Is this possible?

I think so. Try using the Sub-file/folder count for that.

Thanks for the reply.

Sub file/folder count is working perfectly for this purpose, providing notifications when a folder reaches the appropriate size.

My question, rather, is how to copy an unrelated file into each of those folders when they reach that size.

As of now I have to do this manually.

Thanks, in advance.

Ah, I see. For that you'll probably have to do some sort of script since there's no action for that.

Great, thanks. I appreciate your time.

Time to find someone to write me that script :D
