Mac Lab Rat - GGP #084 :: We Have Chunks

May 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

This week’s episode of the GGP was so jam-packed with geeky goodness, Dave had to split the show into two chunks.  You can find both Chunk A and Chunk B on the GGP blog.

To help keep the show length reasonable, the Mac Lab report for this show is a quick one.  The inspiration comes from a post by Tim Cox over at MacApper.  This is a collection of Automator scripts which will help to keep your downloads directory clean.

These scripts provide methods for managing your Internet downloads for everything from music files (Tunes to Trash), disk images (Perfect Dismount) and zip archives (The Zipper).

Overall the tools do a decent job of keeping things tidy and are a great example of a practical use for Automator for the everyday user.
