Pneumatic Tubes File Router: Move Files To Different Locations Using Keyboard Shortcuts

File management is very important in order to easily find what you are looking for whenever you need it. Most people have this bad habit of placing files randomly. Moreover, if you download a lot of files off the internet such as music, videos, ebooks and other stuff, then your download folder must be asking for mercy now. However, maybe you’re thinking to organize the things now, but if you are performing file and folder management after a long time, most probably there are dozens of files and folders stacked up that need to be sorted. Doing it manually would obviously take up a lot of time and effort, as it involves opening each folder individually and moving files into them one by one. The era we’re going through now is filled with hectic routine and no body has got the time to waste on such tasks. Worry not though, as Pneumatic Tubes File Router might help you out. It is a file management application that allows you to quickly move files and folders to the required locations without having to open each folder individually. How?

  1. Kia Morot,Look closely at the icons on each icon in the left corner of the return is a letter – this will be the key. Sometimes clues can be as “D1” or “D4”, which means that it is necessary to use two keys, and “D” and “4” together.

    God programm, Thanks!

  2. What’s the capture key for? Not the best review this one, leaves some doubts on how to use the program. I understand you have to drop the files you want to move into the corresponding icons?

    Seems to be a useful program anyway.
