Need a script to open files dropped into a folder in Photoshop

[Dan237254418j0j]

I need a script that will "watch" a folder and if a file is put there it will automatically open in Photoshop. I am airdropping files into this folder and want to auto open the files for viewing. Hoping someone can help.

You posted to Photoshop Developers, which is a "community to connect with others and share your feature feedback, bug reports, and new feature ideas on the Photoshop API directly with the Photoshop team." Since your question is not about the Photoshop API, I'll move your post to Photoshop for you.

A script for Bridge and one for Photoshop from Paul Riggott:

Bridge Hot Folder.jsx

PShotFolder.jsx
