Looking for a very specific utility/program.

[Hypnotoad]

I need a program that can keep track of changes to files in a specified folder and whenever a new file appears in the folder it gives the user an option to rename the file and save it (cut it) to a different location on the computer. I would be amazed if something like this already exists, but if it doesn't, do you think it would be an easy thing to program?

 

Thanks.

i could write that for you tonight if you dont expect fancy UI

That would be amazing. I was thinking I could try coding it myself, but I only have limited C++ knowledge. And yeah, the UI could be anything.

well actually writing it in c# would be what i would be doing. could you specify a little bit more what it has to do and how you imagine it should work basicly make a wishlist for santa

also what os are you running?

I'm running Windows 7 Pro, and specifically the functionality I would need would be a real-time check to see if a new .png file appears in a folder, and if it does, show a "save as" popup that saves a copy of the image to a specified folder with the option to rename and deletes the image from the origin folder. A popup like this:

easy enough ill play around tonight and see if i find the time if not ill most likely find some time tommorrow after work ill keep you posted

[Hypnotoad]

I really appreciate this. Never expected anyone to actually offer to try to make it. Thanks again!

[cluelessgenius]

well ill let you know how many lines of code it was so we can both laugh at your appreciation

ok so i created an application that lets you select a folder to observe and by closing it it minimizes to tray from there only you can really close it or show it again. when the program is running and you create a png in the folder the event triggers and you can save it elsewhere and afterwards decide wether or not you wanna delete the original. would that fit the description? now how can i send you?

That seems to fit the description, yes. I have a google docs account you can send it to. I'll PM you my email address.
