Auto-install download scenes on Mac?

Postby FaroZ06 » Sun May 16, 2010 7:30 am

I'm using a Macintosh computer, and I'm annoyed at how I have to drag scenes that I download from Algobox to the scenes folder every time I download something. Is there a way to make an Apple Script that automatically moves .phz files from the downloads folder to the scenes folder?

NOTE: I can't change the download directory unless I want all of my downloads to go to the scenes folder!

I can, but then I'd get every file I download in my scenes folder.
I want it to ONLY send scenes to the folder.

I don't want to do that every time. I want to be able to just hit "Download". Besides, I'm using Safari. It automatically puts stuff in a download folder. I'm using a Mac (as I hinted in my first post, but maybe it's hard to catch it).

I know I sound lazy, but it's also annoying because sometimes I put the file somewhere else by accident when dragging. Also, if there is a script, I can use it to auto-change the beginning of the name so it comes up first in the Scenes menu instead of by date.

Two words.
Get Chrome
http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=mac

Secondly what i do is my download directory is my desktop on my desktop i have a shortcut to my scenes folder so a simple drag of the scene and it's done.
I'm not sure of the Mac equivalent of that is, but meh your own fault for buying a mac.

I use Safari too, and I have an option to make a box appear whenever I download, which lets me choose to open or save. Is that a Windows-only option, or do you have it, too?
