Downloads (archiving automatization)?

[MBX]

is there a way to set an option where all movie files (mp4, mov, mpeg, avi, etc.) move into the movie folder once completely downloaded?

currently when i download clips or google videos they go into the download stacks. this is all cool with other files but i'd like movie-clips to go directly into the movie folder. unfortunately there's no such options in safari preferences (to have different locations for different file-types)

any suggestions?

i thought about using automator but then again the few clicks i make in automator i can do in the finder as well.

Well, what if you were to make an automator action that watched that folder, or was triggered by the download. Then, it would spot that a new file was put in there, check the file type, and if it conforms to a preset or something, then it gets moved to a specific folder.

do you have an example of how to setup something like that?

No, because I haven't been able to find quite that ability in Automator yet. I may try doing some Automator recordings, or a script see what happens then.
