Magic Folder

Sorts drag'n'dropped files by their extensions. It creates folders named after these extensions and stores there corresponding files.
I suppose that after this vague description you still don't know what it does, do you? Perhaps the video below will clarify it (if it is not loading, click here). The more advanced features are explained in built-in help.
If you use Dropbox, Magic Folder can move your files into Dropbox public folder and copy public links to share files easily (details in settings menu).
(it was a shortcut to the actual program that was used on this video - it's the way of using Magic Folder that I recommend. If you use actual exe file, you will clutter your desktop with the config files. I'm working on keeping the config elsewhere)



I got this idea here and tweaked it a bit a lot.
I use HotKeyIt's ToolTip function and parts of Titan's Functions library. Thanks for creating them guys!
I've used the icon from this pack.


Do not use not compiled version due to bug in AutoHotkey:
"Dragging files onto a .ahk script may fail to work properly if 8-dot-3 (short) names have been turned off in an NTFS file system. One work-around is to compile the script then drag the files onto the resulting EXE."
In most cases it should still work, but I can not guarantee it.
