Trash Bag 1.2.2

Add this absurdly simple application to your Startup Items folder, and you’ll never have to worry about download clutter again.

Trash Bag creates and maintains a folder that looks like a bag in front of your desktop trash can. Use it as the destination folder for encoded Internet downloads, Web browser cache files, or anything you doubt you’ll need tomorrow, and Trash Bag will put them in the Trash automatically.

Unlike the “real” Trash, your Trash Bag folder lets you open what’s inside it, and you can access it through standard file dialogs. It’s also great for making a temporary backup copy of a document before editing — just Option-drag it to the bag. Tomorrow, when you no longer need it, it’ll be in the Trash.
