Hello. We are working on an application that we want to copy a finished file to a USB storage device like your app, but I would like to mount the USB device first before an event and then when the event is finished automatically copy the file without having to remember to stick the drive in everytime. Is this possible? The whole Automator script would be ical triggered.

Thanks,

Casey

Hi all,

I had similar questions to the ones you guys were asking about running a workflow when a specific device is mounted, after some searching I found this…

hope that helps.

Thanks for the tips.

I've got an automated process going now whenever I insert some of my cards, but now, how can I remove a workflow from the /volumes folder?

Thanks.

Hi All. I’m bumping this months later because for whatever reason, iPhoto no longer sees my CF cards when I mount them and automatically starts importing my pictures, but the Finder still sees it just fine. So I’m trying to create a simple action to essentially re-create this previous behavior. (FWIW, it stopped working upon a hard drive failure and subsequent fresh install of Leopard on a new hard drive.) This tip is very helpful and gets me much of the way there, but I’m hoping there’s some way to essentially only run the workflow/action when my CF cards are mounted, not when any device is mounted. I am, by the way, completely new to Automator, so any mind-expanding ideas, however obvious to the initiated, are welcome! Thanks for the help!

I was just wondering, as you mentioned in the last line any connected device would trigger this workflow, is it possible to narrow it down to a particular drive based on the drive name/label because i want to use this workflow to copy files to a USB hard drive and it shouldn’t happen when i plugin a USB memory stick!
