Folder actions questions - PAGE 2

Hi,New discovery…If I go to a folder and select at Services/Folder Actions Setup… then click on the plus (+) sign GraphicConverter opens???Looks like a GC bug.Hi,I had a script "icon set_Label_Index" which I attached (Folder Action) to folders "Scans ƒ" and "TV" it's purpose was to increment the Label Index based on the number of files in the folder.Since the folders contained, sometimes very large, transient items I choose to not let Time Machine back them up.All of the sudden I get the action "open GraphicConverter…" instead of "icon set_Label_Index".When I go to the folders and look at Services/Folder Actions Setup… all I get is an empty box with no indication of what is/was attached.Looking at Google doesn't seem to address Folder Actions with Lion.Since it looks like I'm going to have to reinvent and reattach the script, is Folder Actions screwed up now in Lion?Or is that just Life?TIA, Robert Poland2.7 GHz Intel Core I5, 27” iMac  12 GB Ram, 1TB HD, OS 10.7.3

Chris, I understand that Apple is playing games with the ID of apps and I'd bet that GraphicConverter in being mis-identified as Folder Actions. I'm sending your reply to Thorsten. Hope he'll get it fixed. Wonder how far back I'll have to backdate GraphicConverter to get it to work, thank God for Time Machine.

'gc' obviously had something to do with GraphicConverter, but it's been too long for me to remember what. > > I deleted the 'gc' action - unzipped GC-8 - and on the next run I got the expected dialog. > > <Screen Shot 2012-04-06 at 22.41.24.jpeg> > > However after launching and quitting GC-8 and trying again to attach a folder-action in the Finder GC-8 launched, and the pop-up part of the dialog was a no-show again. > > I am mystified. > > -- > Best Regards, > Chris Robert Poland - Fort Collins, CO
