[QUOTE="koesherbacon, post: 993559, member: 142800"] Hi everyone, I'm new here and this looks like the place to ask this question, so here goes. I made an Automator workflow (the contextual menu kind) that first changes the modified date of a file to today's date and time and then moves the file to another folder (~/Torrents/). It works perfectly, but I was wondering if there was a way that it would automatically run the workflow when I download a file with the .torrent extension. I use Safari, and when I download any file it downloads it onto the desktop (I like organizing my downloads myself which is why I don't download straight into ~/Downloads/). Is there a way so when I download a .torrent file to the desktop it will automatically run my "change date then move file" workflow? I've uploaded a copy of the workflow I made *[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?wjgnow3oium"]here[/URL]*, the only difference is that the attached file is not a context menu service. Thanks, I'd really appreciate any input I could get! [/QUOTE]
