A user emailed earlier in the week wondering if there was a way to automatically add bills that he was scanning as PDFs to OmniFocus as actions. He knew that he could have his scanning software place the PDFs in a particular folder, but wasn't sure how to get them into OmniFocus from there without too many clicks.

The answer I came up with is the attached Folder action script. It takes any files that are added to the folder and attaches them to individual actions in the quick entry window.

To use, extract the .scpt file from the .zip and place it in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/. You can add the action to any folder by control-clicking that folder in the finder and choosing Services >Folder Actions Setup...

I am by no means an AppleScript expert so there may be some situations where the script fails, but in my testing here it works well. As always, your feedback is welcome
