Batch move files to different subfolders
Posted: 16.08.2018, 10:55
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to batch move files to different subfolders ?
For example, say I have the following files :
.../Photos/2017 01 01/photo001.jpg
.../Photos/2017 01 01/photo002.jpg
.../Photos/2017 01 01/photo003.jpg
.../Photos/2017 01 01/photo004.jpg
.../Photos/2017 01 01/photo005.jpg
.../Photos/2017 01 01/photo006.jpg
.../Photos/2017 02 01/photo001.jpg
.../Photos/2017 02 01/photo002.jpg
.../Photos/2017 02 01/photo003.jpg
.../Photos/2017 02 01/photo004.jpg
.../Photos/2017 02 01/photo005.jpg
.../Photos/2017 02 01/photo006.jpg
and that I want to move the first 6 to a subfolder called "2017 01" and the last 6 to "2017 02" (basically, move file X to the subfolder called the first 7 letters of the name of file X).
Is this possible ?
I thought it might work using multi-rename, by renaming to "[n,0,7]/[n]" but that actually does not work - multi-rename doesn't allow slashes in the names...
Thanks in advance !
