yes, that seems cool! I’m leaning more and more toward a Mac for my next computer… if it didn’t mean re-buying the CS5 suite! Maybe when I need a computer AND new software all at the same time, I’ll bite the bullet 🙂

I don’t know how “dear” I was when I was losin’ it while trying to figure out these darling templates we’ve been seeing ’round the net.

Anyway, do consider joining the CHATS. What a wonderful bunch of people willing to help me with this exasperating problem.

Today I installed my new external hard drive that Jennifer recommended, and have begun moving over pages I’ve already created and printed. Then sent to TRASH. It was exhilarating (ok.. too dramatic), to PURGE and hopefully make my MAC move along a little faster.

This software sounds interesting and will consider.

Happy Templating!!!

What a useful program! Thanks for sharing with us. Seems like a great time-saver.

I haven’t completely solved this yet, but I did find some software that has helped. I think it is only for Macs, it is called Hazel by a company called Noodlesoft. You can get a free 30 day trial. It is very easy to set up and works from your systems preferences icon. You basically set up rules for all your folders. So I set mine up to unarchive my .rar and zip folders from my download folder into a scrap download folder. Then in that folder I have rules to get rid of files that I don’t use like urls, blinkies and anti-piracy files (trust me I don’t pirate, but I don’t need all the files telling me not to). I also have it do things like move my brush files to the brush folder and actions and so on. I am still working on more sophisticated concepts, but it has been a huge help and is super easy. This would be useful for the reader you described here because she could just set it up to unzip the files and move them to her desired destination. Hope this helps someone, it is worth giving the free trial a try!
