Tired of manually moving files from your Desktop to a specific folder? Looking for an automatic method of adding downloaded images to iPhoto or to your Pictures folder, without worrisome and frequently broken browser plugins?

Import into iPhoto
Run AppleScript
Run Automator workflow
Run shell script
Run rules on folder contents
