A nice feature that could be implemented on OS X would be to auto-organize files by the domain they're downloaded from.

Safari on OS X puts the source link of a downloaded file in the spotlight metadata, which can be accessed via "mdls" - an excerpt:

  $ mdls Inconsolata-Bold.ttf
    -- other metadata --
    kMDItemWhereFroms              = (
      "http://googlefontdirectory.googlecode.com/hg/ofl/inconsolata/Inconsolata-Bold.ttf,
      "http://code.google.com/p/googlefontdirectory/source/browse/ofl/inconsolata/Inconsolata-Bold.ttf
    )
Personally, I'd find that much more useful than the "all pdf's are books" example.


There's this example from the README which seems to do what you are asking for:

    Maid.rules do
      rule 'Old files downloaded while developing/testing' do
        dir('~/Downloads/*').each do |path|
          if downloaded_from(path).any? {|u| u.match 'http://localhost'} && 1.week.since?(last_accessed(path))
            trash(path)
          end
        end
      end
    end
