I have been using file juggler to do this but it has started messing around and creating 10-15 copies of one mkv which is just a bit stupid really.

I've moved onto dropit which although it works isn't customisable.

Basically what I'm after is a program that auto copies a certain file extension from one folder to another, I need it to ignore everything under 150mb and over 2gb. So between these size ranges.

Does anyone know anything that can do this?

If people say automatically copy I think they want something that basically runs all the time (or at least every few minutes). Typical scenario being they have a download folder (or virtual folder for a NAS/share/seedbox) and want them shuffled over to a library.

The size part might be fun on a basic command line option (should be fine with powershell -- https://stackoverflow.com/questions...r-file-whose-file-size-is-greater-than-1024kb , Linux type setups almost by default have such things http://www.softpanorama.org/Tools/Find/finding_files_with_the_specific_size.shtml ) but attach a script to a scheduled task called every few minutes.

"I need it to ignore everything under 150mb"
I assume you know your sources and such but many times I have seen videos aim for that size and end a couple of megs short, and other times 120 has been the goal. Such a thing would be trivial to sort though.

Alternatively this is a fairly good task to write a script in any number of programming languages to handle, even if you ultimately do use a command to get the data and some regex type things to narrow it down for the move option.
