[QUOTE="davidjason, post: 998566, member: 143808"] Hi, what your looking for is an automator trigger, this is possible with a folder action. Instead of creating a service, you have to choose "Folder action" when creating a new file in automator. Then select your desktop folder in the top of the automator window (my system is in french, so I don't know what's the exact label in english, but you can't miss it, there's a drop down menu to select the folder). Then add your actions like you would do in a service, if I where you, I would add an action above all, to make sure your script only works on .torrent files. I guess the name in english should be something like "Filter finder items", in this action you can add a condition like "only file with .torrent extension". And then add the action your using in your workflow. It should to the trick, every time a new file gets in your desktop folder, the script will launch, if it's a .torrent file, it will execute your script. I hope this will help you, let me know if I'm not clear enough. [/QUOTE]
