Design temporary material management artifact Quickshot

In everyday projects designers often need to use some material to assist the design, many times we are in a pile of folder windows to find the necessary material. Today to the students Amway a management temporary material artifact, Mac party can look over.

Like the picture below, a pile of folders is stacked together and the whole person is not good.

In the face of the small to 48px icon, large to 1920px Web screenshots We need to constantly adjust the preview size to find the most comfortable way to preview. Gradually I began to think that icon, app screenshots, materials should be used in different ways to carry rather than mix.

So, I began to try to separate the icon and screenshot management, inboard management screenshots of material, Iconjar Management icon, the current feeling is OK. But then there's the question that every new project involves a bunch of temporary footage. I do not like to put all the files on the desktop, from the Windows era used to keep a "temp" folder on the desktop to put some temporary needs of files.

Wordy so much finally to get into today's theme "quickshot", with Hazel to help me manage some temporary material.

The first time you use an app, you'll need to select a preview directory, which I'll point to the "temp" folder.

"quickshot" resident at the top of the System menu bar, click icon to show all the pictures floating windows in the Temp folder.

In the design process, you need to drag it directly into the application.

"quickshot" itself is just a very small, very simple application, not smart enough. For example, if I need to manually drag to the "temp" folder every time I take a screenshot to the desktop, it's not smart.

This is the time to call out the powerful rule processing tool-"hazel" on OS x. I set up a rule where all the picture type files on the desktop and the files containing the screenshot four characters are automatically moved to the Temp folder.

In this way, I can manage the temporary footage, the icon footage, and the screenshot footage in three separate places. Each class can have its most appropriate preview and find method. Seemingly dispersed, in fact, efficiency can be improved.

As for Hazle, the power of this tool is not few words to speak clearly. This is not the introduction, we can first understand the message is similar to the filter rule is good.
