The help file mentions scripting n the context of advanced rename. Is there a more general form of scripting available and can it be applied to a file collection??
for example: can I write a script to (say) create a file collection of all files with a speciic extension, and then (say) move all fles from that collection which are bigger than some size to a second collection or folder?
I'm looking to be able to create some advanced file handling macros...
You can't (well, not without either calling an external script or "abusing" a rename script), but you also don't have to use scripting for that either.
You could just create a filter which matches files with that extension which are also larger than the required size, and then use that filter with the normal copy command. No need to create an intermediate collection at all.
So you can do what you want but using scripting wouldn't be the best way to do it.
