There are a variety of media processing parts such as Image-Magick, FFmpeg, and OpenCV. A mechanism is necessary that allows PC users to access easily these parts in a cloud. We propose Polder, a programming environment based on a simple processing principle that provides novices with an easy programming and execution environment. Data input is achieved through dragging and dropping data objects onto a folder. The input data object is processed by a program bound to the folder name and the resulting data object is stored in the same folder. Establishing a hierarchical folder structure chains the processes of the folders. Combined with a WebDAV network folder, Polder becomes a mashup environment for end users. In this paper, we evaluate and discuss Polder based on a user questionnaire administered after students test Polder to process images, videos, and voice files. Moreover, we discuss Polder based on the application development experience using Polder.
