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.
