installer flaws & bugs - Version: 1.1.1, 1/10/2006 08:07AM PST

1) the installer doesn't do its job as it should: it won't install in my home/library, only in the main Library folder BUT it won't work from that installed location (at least not when your home folder is on a different volume) so you have to manually move it to ~/Library.
2) there is no uninstall, which is very much needed: see (3)
3) the upgrade doesn't work - you have to manually first remove the prefPane AND the prefs (com.azarhi.DoSomethingWhen.plist) to make it work. This means you have to start from scratch with your rules.
4) you can't change the delay of a rule, unless you also change something else (like the name) otherwise the SAVE button will remain greyed-out.

Wonderful application! - Version: 1.1.1, 11/14/2005 07:07AM PST
Froggies--2008
I use it mainly to open Carbon Copy Cloner when I mount my backup drive, and to open Airfoil when I start Windows Media Player. Works perfectly every time. A great piece of software!
One of the chief ways I use it: I have a series of important documents I keep on a USB flash drive (so I can work on them on my G5 and my PowerBook). Since I have a bunch of flash drives around, I back up the docs to two of them. With DSW, when I plug the backup flash drives in, Synk (the wonderful freeware version) is automatically launched, allowing me to back up with a click. DSW then unmounts the backup drive when I quit Synk. Flawless.
I, too, found I had a problem updating to 1.1.1 (from 1.0.2), so that drops the rating for Ease of Use a bit, but otherwise it's 5 stars in all categories.
