Create Multiple Filenamed Folders to Copy/Move to

Regularly I have a number of files and want to move (or copy) them to a Filenamed folders.

Right now this is more or less done 'one by one', that's to say I can do this action while selecting
a number of files, but at each move/copy I have to click on 'OK' before the action takes place.

Is there a way that this takes place, 'no questions asked' ?
(add a new context menu item, say "Silently Create Filenamed Folders to Copy to..." or so)

TIA

What does that mean?

Please give us some examples.

Okay, say you have in folder downloads

file-abc.doc
file-xyz.xls
file-123.jpg
file-456.ppt

select all and drag-drop them to F:\Temp
then from the context menu select
"Create Filenamed Folder to Move to..."

If you select this one, at each move, you need to click OK (*)

now - how to avoid having to click on the OK button each time.

(*) if there are a LOT of files to be moved to folders this way, then one might keep the enter-key pressed, but
that is a bit tricky, one shd release it timely to avoid un-desirable things from happing,like loading all files :wink: )

It's hard to say why you have to do this without knowing the command you're running.

When your Downloads-Folder is source and F:\Temp is destination you can simply use this:

Copy CREATEFOLDER="{file|noext}"

To move the files to folders in the current directory use this:

CREATEFOLDER {file|noext} READAUTO=no Copy MOVE {file} TO {sourcepath}{file|noext}

You haven't actually told us what you're doing (or aiming to do) yet, so it's impossible to answer that.

What does "move them to a Filenamed folders" mean, exactly? If I have to guess, there are lots of different things which that might mean and I don't know which one (if any) is the one you really want.

What command have you put on your drag & drop action to do that?

If we have to guess then our answers may just confusing things even more. Let's get the problem defined properly first, then we can answer it.

These are the context menu items I am talking about

Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to...
Copy MOVE CREATEFOLDER "{dlgstringS|Name of Folder to move to...|{file$|noext}}"

Create Filenamed Folder to COPY to...
Copy CREATEFOLDER "{dlgstringS|Name of Folder to copy to...|{file$|noext}}"

If you have a few small files, no problem, you can wait to click on OK each time
If you have 30-40 big files, that are upto 100-300mb each, it would be nice to do the job and continue do something else
whilst the job is running, no questions asked.

You shouldn't use dialogboxes in your commands if you don't want to have dialogs you'll need to confirm. :wink:
These commands are working for me from the RMB-Dropdown-menu:

Create Filenamed Folder to COPY to...

Copy CREATEFOLDER="{file|noext}"

Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to...

Copy CREATEFOLDER="{file|noext}" Delete
Copy Move CREATEFOLDER="{file|noext} does'n't work for me.

From the commands it looks like you want to copy/move all selected items into a folder below the destination, named after the first selected item.

To do that, without being prompted for each item, use this:

Copy:

@nofilenamequoting @set destdir={dlgstringS|Name of Folder to copy to...|{file$|noext}} Copy CREATEFOLDER "{$destdir}"

Move:

@nofilenamequoting @set destdir={dlgstringS|Name of Folder to copy to...|{file$|noext}} Copy MOVE CREATEFOLDER "{$destdir}"

Thank you! :thumbsup:

Yes, of course, no dialog box. :blush:
Am no expert on this.

Works wonderful.

Settings-Filetype-All Files-Drop menu

Silent Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to...
Copy MOVE CREATEFOLDER="{file|noext}"

Works fine.

btw Wud not know of any better way to describe this action.
but that's not important.
