Hi there,

this desklet will move/copy files dropped on to it to a folder of your choice - AUTOMATICALLY depending on its file type:

- You can set up rules where e.g. jpg-files should be moved/copied to, e.g. My pictures...
- You can set up more than one folder as target (e.g. My pictures, My wallpapers) - a menu will pop up to choose your destination from.
- You can save these rules you made in a settings file and easily swap settings via a dropdown menu.
- You can select if files should be moved or copied.
- You can show/hide this desklet by a (changeable) hotkey - so you can set it to always on top for good access.

- Dropped a file type on it that's not in the list? A dialog will pop up.
- Don't remember where your last file was moved to? The history function will help...
- This desklet is skinable (easily by swapping pics), coming with 3 skins by default. Skins can be animated if you like...
- Settings can be edited manually, too.


The idea for this desklet originally derives from a Windows Vista Sidebar gadget - I read about it at the Desktp Sidebar board and thought I can do this with ("AveDesk") style, too.

HOW TO:
-------------
- Drag & Drop files on to
- Leftclick to drag around / move desklet
- Rightclick the desklet for desklet properties, Magic Box options, editing the file/folders list manually or update the desklet after editing the list
- hover in the right bottom corner to show a control where you can switch between copying/moving files and access the Magic Box options.
- change the hotkey: Alt/Ctrl/Win via dropdown menu, additional normal key by entering its ASCII code in a textfield (see table at end of help file)

Excellent. :D

Had this in my "to do" queue for a long time. Just never got around to it. The idea came to me from using FileSeive.

These are the tools that are perfect widgets/desklets!

Of course now I can't sell the DesktopX one I planned to do...b@stard! :P

Hi there :) -

thanks a lot, hope I covered all the features! (well, planned some unzip functionality, too, but couldn't use the unrar.dll with vbs...)

@SirSmiley:
What's money anyway? Now you've got time! :D...
And if you wanna get rich, you should go for some x-rated widget instead ;)
