[note: this post was originally a reply in a different thread]

a great way to speed up opening or filing new downloads: send them to LaunchBar.

Code: Select all
if all of the following conditions are met for the current file or folder
    Date Added is among the 1 most recent
    Date Added is after Date Last Matched
do the following:
    Open with application LaunchBar


this gives you a lot more flexibility with what you can do with the file in just a single keystroke:
spacebar to Quicklook.
return to open.
cmd-return to reveal in Finder.
cmd-shift-R to rename.
start typing to select a folder to move the file to.
escape if the rule triggered by accident.

put this as the last rule for your downloads folder. then it will even trigger for the contents of archives that a previous rule has unzipped.
