(Archived) Watch a folder for automatic import?

[TrondW 0]

I scan handwritten notes on a weekly basis into a directory on my computer. Is there a way to automatically import only the new notes into Evernote automatically? I suspect that I could write an automator action that uses an "open -a" terminal command to do it myself, but before doing so I'm hoping someone else already has or that this feature is on the short term roadmap for en.

Any luck?

Is there a reliable solution for "watching folders" for import on Mac?

This isn't currently supported, but we are discussing options to expose certain functions via AppleScript, which would make this sort of automation possible.

Thanks

You can do it via AppleScript and Mac "Folder Actions". There are some instructions here:

But they're a bit out of date (for 10.5, not 10.6), so the screenshots are a little off.
