Just a short note to thank you for the article on fsniper in Issue 102 (May 2009). I am now using this very useful utility to automate the processing of downloaded podcasts and vodcasts on my main computer and the subsequent transfer of the files to my netbook. On the netbook, I again use fsniper to direct the files to the correct directories.
During the initial stages of working with fsniper, I hit a problem that I thought indicated a bug, so I contacted the developers. It turned out the problem was due to my own misunderstanding of the configuration file syntax, but the rapid and friendly responses from the developers so impressed me that I wanted to specifically mention it.
More generally, thank you for informing all of us of the many varied applications available for Linux and how to best use them. I am also very pleased that you cover products suited for professional as well as more domestic usage.
