Dynamically-Updating Palette Based on Folder Structure

Hey Guys,

I don't want to mess with this, but I have some suggestions.

  • You can't dynamically create a palette based on a file structure.
     
  • You can use AppleScript in a macro to update such a palette on demand. (Link)
    • Note – the linked macro doesn't do the job you want – it's just an example of how to create a macro with AppleScript.
       
  • Personally I'd probably do this job with a Prompt With List action rather than a palette.
    • You an easily create dynamic lists.
    • You can use one in a submacro and feed it different initial strings via a variable to produce different initial lists – then type a new search string if needed.
    • You can give list items tags to make finding like items easier.
    • Many things are possible.
