Automated desktop cleanup [Hack Your Day]
I found a cool tool browsing Lifehacker today, called Desktop Teleporter. You will find it quite useful for cleaning up your desktop, which it is capable of doing on its own. Simply specify some criteria, and your files will automatically be moved to different folders based on this.
This is useful if you download a lot of files with Firefox, and for me the best way of doing this is to simply use my desktop as a repository. This can result in widespread chaos on my desktop, which is less than productive, and having an automatic routine that cleans it for me is a great help.
I highly recommend this to people with cluttered desktops, although I don’t use it myself because I am missing one feature which would be awesome. I would like to specify that the program should only move files off my desktop to specified folders which I haven’t opened in over 24 hours. The reason I use my desktop to download is that I view these files often for a while, but after that I just forget about them. It would be cool if there could be a time dimension to this all. I would also love for the app to be better looking, but that’s not of cardinal importance.
