How to open finder on Mac OS X automatically when USB plugged in?

Super simple question, but I can't fond the answer.

I want the Finder to open mounted disk when I plug in USB drive... How?

Solution

  • Thank you @mark-setchell

    I've ended up with this Apple Script for my /Volumes folder:

    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    try
        tell application "Finder"
            --open window and activate finder 
            activate
            --open the USB
            open added_items
        end tell
    end try
end adding folder items to

    So every time some new item appears in /Volumes folder Finder opens window and selects this item.

    This solution has some delay before opening finder (5-10 sec). I guess Folder Actions just work this way...
