Mac OS style of New Folder with selected files?

I've been searching around for a way to do this.
So far all I've found are ways to do this with a dialog box that asks for new folder name.

Is there a way to do this with no dialog boxes.

something like,

  • Create new folder generic name such as "New Folder"

  • Files moved to it

  • and finally, its name or text field highlited and ready to be renamed

Thanks!

Which files?

The currently selected list of files in the active lister :slight_smile:

Try this; it seems to work.

FileType NEW=directory NEWNAME "norename:New Folder"
Copy MOVE TO ".\{$newfile}"
Select "{$newfile}" EXACT DESELECTNOMATCH
Rename INLINE 

Hey Thanks for your help.

I have tried your code both as a hotkey and a toolbar button and it doesnt seem to do anything. I have an active selection but nothing happens? any ideas?

I have this on a hotkey:

Select PATTERN=pushed DESELECT
Copy MOVE HERE CREATEFOLDER=pushed
Select PATTERN=pushed SETFOCUS

Add Rename INLINE if you don't want to use F2.

This works but there is a slight problem to it.
The folder name is not dynamic. So running the code again just takes the currently selected files and adds them to the existing "pushed" folder

Is there a way for the folder to be created to have a unique name every time I call the hotkey? for example

Newfolder1
Newfolder2
and so on

Thanks

Try replacing DESELECTNOMATCH with SETFOCUS in Jon's button. Other than that I wouldn't know why it didn't work for you.
