FolderOrg — now works with Snow Leopard

August 31st, 2009

folderorg_sept05

The old version FolderOrg in Snow Leopard requires Rosetta PPC emulation. I rebuilt the script in Snow Leopard and Rosetta is no longer required. It also appears to run much faster.

Click here to download.

I have not tested this version on anything but Mac OS X 10.6.

Installing in Snow Leopard.

  1. Unzip FolderOrgXSnowLeopard.zip
  2. Copy FolderOrgX.app to ~/Library/Folder Action Scripts/
  3. Right-click on a folder that you want organized.
  4. Select Folder Action Setup…
  5. Select FolderOrgX from the action scripts

Configuring FolderOrg

To configure FolderOrg, double-click on the FolderOrgX.app icon. You will be prompted with three questions:

  • Do you want to show the folder when new items are added?
  • Do you want to activate the Finder when new items are added?
  • Do you want to change them modification date to the time items were added?

What is FolderOrg?

It organizes your Downloads folder, Desktop folder, or any other folder by grouping new items into a dated folder. It looks like this:

FolderOrg will only organize newly added files; not pre-existing files.

Warranty

This software is freeware. Use at your own risk. FolderOrgX is unsupported, but I will respond to comments on this post as time permits. I have not tested this version on anything but Mac OS X 10.6.

    I work in a school, and we had some assistance setting up a pretty clever file sharing schema. It’s quite nice. Each teacher has a Hand-Outs folder on the server, and a Hand-Ins drop box to accept assignments.

    The one consistent complaint the teachers have is that they can’t tell when a student turned something in. If an assignment is due Monday but they look in the folder Tuesday, they can’t tell if it was turned in Monday morning or five minutes before they looked, whereas if they accept assignments via email they see exactly when it arrived. We really don’t want all of these assignments passing over email all the time. I want to be able to have them see when a student put a file in their server drop box.

    I’ve read a little bit about the “touch” command, and I sort of kind of get it. Then I found links to your utility.

    Will this utility work on the server or on the teacher client machines so the teachers can see what date and time the assignments were added? If it does work on the server side, is there any chance of breaking other functionalities of the server?

    I appreciate any and all help. Thanks so much.

    Thanks!
