Occasionally I need to print or attach an invoice. These are all filed in a consistent way (through the use of Hazel rules and Keyboard Maestro macros for folder creation). The invoices are all filed in an invoice folder under a folder for a job. I name client invoices in a consistent way, year, job number and the word ‘invoice’.
Is there a solution to this Move or Rename behavior? I don't want it renaming lone folders I select.I would be grateful to know for the best way to do the following. It's like, if there are files involved in the selection, it will move them and honor all existing file and folder names, however if there are only folders involved in the selection, regardless of whether they contain additional files, they get renamed instead of being moved into a sub-folder. I think this behavior has something to do with the 'Move or Rename File' action. The original structure was: ParentFolder > Food > image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg What I want is: ParentFolder > Food > Studio > image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg ParentFolder > Studio > Studio, image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg. jpg files by themselves or with a sibling folder, however, if I select just an empty folder or a folder with other files inside and run the macro, its name gets CHANGED to "Studio" and a new folder named "Studio" is created inside but all the files that were contained within the folder I selected are now siblings to the folder that was previously their parent.
The macro I created using your actions as a reference, works fine when I select one or more. Essentially, I don't what selected files/folders leaving the existing parent folder, I just want them put into a new sub-folder within their current location. I would like to select one or more of them (files and/or folders) then trigger a macro that puts everything I selected into a brand new sub-folder named "Studio" within the existing parent folder. jpg files in sub-folders within that parent folder. My functionality needs are simpler and doesn't require user input after triggering the macro. I used your "Create New FOLDER in Current Folder" macro as a basis for mine.
