Magic Box

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.

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 ;)
