Use launchd to replace folder actions

Well, I suppose (have not tried) that launchd when calling whatever.sh would be passing it each item one-by-one (i.e. calling it several times if multiple items were added). In case of /bin/sh they will be known to shell script as $1, and then will be passed over to AppleScript. So, you should have all the same (or similar) info and control, no?
