Not 100% sure, but I think you can achieve this using Folder Actions.

This isn't a Cocoa question though, so expect to be upbraided for being 
off-topic.

Virtual Folders in Mac

2009-12-22 Thread Akash Nemani
Hi All,

Is there a way to get a virtual folder in mac? Something like the win 7
library folder? Basically I am trying to create a folder in which if a file
is copied or dragged, it creates a  link to the original file into the
folder instead of copying the file. I saw that Burn folder is something
similar. But I dont want the burn button in it and would like to create
symbolic link instead of alias in the folder since I can access the path of
the original file using readlink or stat functions.
