Hi



I'm not a pro in automator, but I'm looking for an action that autodetects when a SD card has been inserted to copy files from it.

thanks

Thinking from a security standpoint that sounds dodgy!

It ought to be possible. You could do it with Carbon Copy Cloner very easily.

EDIT: With CCC I guess it would have to be the same SD card.

Create a Folder Action for the /Volumes folder. It will be triggered when any volume is mounted, so from there you can filter for the one you are looking for.

I should have answered earlier, didn't have much time to check your response.
Yes indeed, it worked, had to search a bit how to apply it, but it worked

thanks mate
