How to watch folders and perform certain actions automatically?
Tuxman:
Hmm, I hope someone here has a clue:
I usually download archive files into a certain directory. Now it is quite much work to unpack them manually and delete the archive files. What would be the easiest way to automate this?
cmpm:
Here's 5, not sure about the delete archive.

If you did it at one time, how?
And why does it not work now, just curious.
Tuxman:
I never did it, but I would like to know if there exists such an application. :)
I see that I was not precise enough: I look for something that actually watches folders (checks them in certain intervals) and extracts any new archives.
:-\
cmpm:
#4 has a watch folder option
it may work like you want it to....
Tuxman:
Ah, looks more like what I was looking for. (Although the weird looking GUI is rather... weird.)
Does it support .7z?
