Automatic move files with script where extension is criteria

Help & Support
1

Hi.

Is it possible to create a script that automatically moves files from my downloads to the u drive when the extension is .jpg?

2

Automatic in response to the files appearing on the drive (even if Opus isn't displaying it), or when you click a button, or visit the folder, or another event?

3

Automatic, as in the file arrives, and I don't have to do any action, and the file is moved.
If that is not possible, the least action possible.

There are folder monitor tools for that but it's not something Opus is that well suited to if you want it to be fully automated.

In Opus, could make a button or hotkey which you push which moves the files around. (You could even set up a scheduled task in Windows to run that button on a timer, but at that point you may as well do the same thing using a simple batch file; Opus would not be adding much there.)

I use Filejuggler for this. As well as moving files you can rename them based on file contents

thank you for the tip.
Using the tip, I have found an open source alternative (drop it) that does exactly that.

is it possible to integrate drop it into Dopus?

I've never used it before. Integrate in what sense?
