[Request] Downloads Organizer by Gonçalo F. on 07-04-2006 at 11:29 AM

well, calling it download manager would be a bit abusive, considering my need.
my request is a script that could create folders with the contact's email and separate within them the files i receive from each contact, so that i could better keep track of the downloaded files source.

file transfer plus plugin i think has that feature, but is way more complex.
there are also other good feature that could be implemented, like the ones discussed here, but that could be for a future development.

thank you

i started doing a program that done this.. accept it was going to sort out the files that was sent into seperate folders (if it was a .JPG/.BMP it would put it in a pictures folder)  but i got lost on how to create a folder :P But it is a good idea :) ill keep giving it a go

How do you detect the arrival of a new file?

Pfft, that's the easy part :<

code:
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
fso.CreateFolder(path);

Plus! has no event for this, but you could use a timer to look for folder changes :P
