Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

I don't even OWN a Giffen device, but this is the greatest file/folder automation program Iv'e come across. I keep a folder for torrents on my desktop, and this program allowed me to automate it so that when I drop a torrent file into it, transmission automatically launces AND opens the torrent file I just dropped. On top of that, I was able to add an alert sound whenever anything is added to that folder. Nice! Iv'e played with automator in the past but wasn't able to achieve this kind of functionality. It's a little tough to use at first (there isn't much documentation and the "values" took a while to wrap my head around), but once you figure it out, the skies the limit. I look forward to future development and the addition of more triggers in the future.

This Thing Rocks!!! - jspectre

no offense, but this isn't anything you couldn't have written yourself with automator and applescript. you can even have scripts attached to watch folders. all this application does is take advantage of what's already there.

So What? - Saint Rowan

It doesn't matter if there's another way to do what this app does. It solves a problem (at least for one person who's very excited about it) and worked the way it was supposed to work for that person. The vast majority of users simply have never and will never use AppleScript or Automator. If someone packages a way to make it easy and give it away for free, so much the better. That's the whole point of having a user community in the first place.
