Works in Evernote v.3.3.0. | |
(Note: I've read of people having problems with | |
AppleScript with the AppStore version of Evernote. | |
If you're having trouble, you might want to sync, | |

Save this file as "Evernote Folder Action.scpt" | |
Put the file into /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ | |
(to navigate there in the Finder, under the Go menu item, | |
choose Computer, then Macintosh HD, then | |
Library -> Scripts -> Folder Action Scripts) | |
Make a folder (I called mine @evernote) that you want | |
to use for your dropbox. | |
Right-click on the folder, choose "Folder Action Setup…" | |
Choose the Evernote Folder Action.scpt file, | |
and make sure that Enable Folder Actions and "On" | |
for your folder and the script are all checked. | |
Close that window. Drop an item into the folder. | |
It should appear in Evernote (in your default folder, | |
with the tag "@evernote", then disappear from the | |
folder. | |
If you want to change the the tag that gets applied, | |
just change the "@evernote" below to whatever you want. | |
