I was stumbling tonight and I came across this great tutorial.

What are Folder Actions?

In a nutshell, Folder Actions are scripts that can be attached to folders. They enable events (actions) to take place when items are added or removed from that folder. Events can also occur when the folder is opened, closed or moved.

Real-World Examples

• When you put images in a certain folder, they?re automatically converted to JPG
• When you put files in a certain folder, they?re automatically uploaded to a web server
• When you close a Finder window, all the sub-folder windows close as well
• When new files are placed in a certain folder, you?re notified
• When new files are placed in a certain folder (like your Desktop or download folder) they?re moved based on file type
• See more in the Folder Action Resources section

How to enable and use Folder Actions

Click the link above to figure the rest out. A great tutorial to quickly duplicate any image into jpg just by dropping it into the folder on your desktop. Thanks. This site has many more tutorials about scripts for your Mac to make your life easier while you work on your computer.
