When you need to organize files, DropIt can eliminate much of the drudgery of searching and manually opening folders and moving files around.
You can configure DropIt to perform 17 different actions on your files and folders, filtering files by name, directory, size, date, properties, content or regular expressions. You can even save sets of associations in profiles and associate a profile to each desired folder, to scan monitored folders at a defined time interval.
Drop a group of different files and folders on the floating DropIt image and it sorts them to defined destination folders, compresses or extracts them, opens them with associated programs or performs other defined actions.

The Hydrus network client is a desktop application written for Anonymous and other internet-fluent media nerds who have large image/swf collections. It organises your files into an internal database and browses them with tags instead of folders, a little like a *booru on your desktop. Tags and files can be anonymously shared through custom servers that any user may run. Everything is free, and the source code is included with the release. It is developed mostly for Windows, but fairly functional builds for Linux and OS X are available.
The software is constantly being improved. I try to put out a new release every Wednesday by 8pm Eastern.
Currently importable filetypes are: images - jpg, gif (including animated), png (including animated!), tiff, webp, bmp video - webm, mp4, mpeg, avi, mov, mkv, flv, wmv audio - mp3, flac, ogg, wma misc - swf, pdf, psd, zip, rar, 7z
Audio is not well supported yet, but for anything that doesn't work, you can easily launch any file in your default program from inside the client.
The program's emphasis is on your freedom. There is no DRM, no phoning home, no censorship.
If you would like to try the program, I highly recommend you check out the help. A copy is included with the release as well.
