I use otto to monitor certain folders where I drop photos, especially those for the kids.
What woud be very useful is as part of adding a folder to be monitored the ability to also allocate tag information to the files imported from that folder.
This way for my photos I could automatically allocate certian tags, like "people" etc based on what folder was being imported.
Of course this depends a lot on how ones folders are structured, but I think the feature could be useful in all sorts of areas.

Otto has to earn people's trust before we get too ambitious.
In v13, he may get some more power like auto-tagging and auto-moving of files. On the flip side, other programs that auto-mangle files have gotten some pretty bad press, so it's important to tread lightly.

Did you guys not see Terminator?! :-\

In Terminator, they needed a part from the future machine to build the machine of the future. I never got that.
And in T3, terminator is on top of the car and can't manage to kill the people inside. I'm not an expert on killer robots, but how hard would it be to just explode if you get close to your target? Why all the wrestling and gun fire?

Cool, I can live with that..... just thought I'd ask.
.. now how did we get onto T3???

I pretend T3 didn't happen. It's embarrasing for them.
However I can see Matt already you're in line to create a far
leaner killing machine. I think we should stop Otto right now!

I wouldn't trust OTTO with moving and renaming anyway, but I think taging is harmless and more useful (to me).
It would be nice to auto-tag video based on folder.
Maybe if we could get more options in the Update File Information From Filename(s) tool, that would do for now?
And about T3, this mad Tv parody is very funny:
