Do Something When is a system preference pane that allows the user to watch for drives mounting and un-mounting, allowing you to launch or quit applications, when these events happen. You can launch iTunes when your music hard drive gets mounted, you can quit iTunes when you eject the drive. This is just an example of what can be done.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Fabulous product. It is ideal in my view: it makes using your Mac simpler, but you otherwise don't notice it. That is, it's simply there, doing what you need, without having to invoke it (once you set it up).
One of the chief ways I use it: I have a series of important documents I keep on a USB flash drive (so I can work on them on my G5 and my PowerBook). Since I have a bunch of flash drives around, I back up the docs to two of them. With DSW, when I plug the backup flash drives in, Synk (the wonderful freeware version) is automatically launched, allowing me to back up with a click. DSW then unmounts the backup drive when I quit Synk. Flawless.
I, too, found I had a problem updating to 1.1.1 (from 1.0.2), so that drops the rating for Ease of Use a bit, but otherwise it's 5 stars in all categories.
Wonderful application!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I use it mainly to open Carbon Copy Cloner when I mount my backup drive, and to open Airfoil when I start Windows Media Player. Works perfectly every time. A great piece of software!
Great App

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Just tried this for the first time and truely love it. Its nice being able to put in a game CD and have that game start, not having to have the icon clutter up the dock. Features are a bit limited for now, but in the future hopefully one will be able to open more than just applications. Keep up the good work.
