[QUOTE="MacGuy18, post: 283147, member: 13772"] Just a word before I begin...I used search and I'm very new to automator, but not so new to macs. OK...I typically download a lot of car videos daily and sometimes I don't watch them all for some reason. I would like to know if I could use automator to take all of my downloaded files and put them in a folder (which i can do from safari...and have already done) next I would like automator to name the folder differently everyday and I would like safari to recognize that it needs to put the new downloads in a different folder. For example, today I downloaded 9 files. I would like them all to go into the folder "Downoads 12-3-06". Tomorrow when I download 6 files I would like them to go into a newly created folder by automator titled "Downloads 12-4-06" Is this possible? Can automator do this? Thanks in advance, -- MacGuy18 [/QUOTE]
