Droplet Applescript Touch

applescriptfinderterminal

i was trying the last days to get a droplet working, which is changing the time stamp of every dropped .jpg / .tif / .dsc / .cr2 to the actual time or even a few secs earlier in Terminal.

Would appreciate if anyone could help me.

Greetings

You can use Automator to create your droplet. The process of updating a file's time stamp is called touch; this superuser question explains more, How can I “touch” a file from the Mac UI?

  1. Launch Automator.app
  2. Create a new workflow
  3. Add a Run Shell Script action
  4. Set Pass input: to as arguments
  5. Within the script, replace echo with touch
  6. Save your workflow as an application
