# AfterFolderChangeData
If a [script add-in](/directory-opus/manual/scripting/script_add-ins.md)implements the [**OnAfterFolderChange**](/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_events/onafterfolderchange.md) event, the method receives an **AfterFolderChangeData** object once the folder read is complete.
| Property Name | Return Type | Description |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| action | *string* | Returns a string indicating the action that triggered the folder read. The string will be one of the following: normal, refresh, refreshsearch, refreshsub, parent, root, back, forward, dblclk.
The refreshsub actions means the folder (and sub-folders) are being refreshed while Flat View is on. The other action names should be self-explanatory.
|
| path | *object:*[**Path**](/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_objects/path.md) | If the read failed, this will return a \*\*Path\*\*object representing the path that Opus tried to read.
If the read was successful, this property is not provided - instead, the tab property provides access to this information.
Use the result property to know if the read was a success.
|
| qualifiers | *string* | Returns a string indicating any qualifier keys that were held down by the user when the event was triggered.
The string can contain any or all of the following: shift ctrl, alt, lwin, rwin
If no qualifiers were down, the string will be: none
|
| result | *bool* | Returns **True** if the folder was read successfully, or **False** on failure. |
| tab | *object:*[**Tab**](/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_objects/tab.md) | Returns a [**Tab**](/directory-opus/manual/reference/scripting_reference/scripting_objects/tab.md) object representing the tab that read the folder. |
