Hello guys

Could someone help me out to automatically my process.

when I am working im used to do the same job thing all the time.(kinda boring..)

I going to //xx/741212/source/ (dopus)

copying 2 .pdf files (the source folder contains 2 word files and 2 pdf files)
going to //xx/741212/
create a new folder called "translation to"(//xx/741212/translation to/)
navigating to //xx/741212/translation to/
paste the 2 pdf files.

how do I wrote a macro to do this?

that can't be not so hard?

I read this thread (Is there a Copy To... that will create a folder?)
but I still dont know how to create a macro

Please help a newb out

Thank you in advance best Dopus users

Cheers

Happy to help. Please link your account to your registration.
So we know we are supporting the people that support DOpus.

Personally I would write a script to do this. Depending on your workflow, I would manually navigate to the first folder. Then have a button that creates the destination and copies the files.

Are the folder names/paths always the same, or do they change each time you need to do the file copy?

What about the PDF file names, are they always the same, or different each time?

the folder name is the same, and the paths always the same.
the thing that only changes for each time I do the jobb, is the jobnumber(741212)

I wrote a part of a macro long way from what I would like to have.

<?xml version="1.0"?> RWS #copy dopusrt /cmd Copy CREATEFOLDER="Translation to"

You don't need to use "dopusrt /cmd" to run commands inside of Opus; that's only for running Opus commands from outside of Opus (or a few very special cases, to do unusual things).

Copy HERE CREATEFOLDER="Translation to"

That's probably all you need if you want to copy the selected files into a "Translation to" sub-folder of the folder they are in.

I solved it partly next step is to go back
in the hierachy

<?xml version="1.0"?> test #copy Copy MOVE HERE=*.ttx CREATEFOLDER="ttx for tageditor" COPY MOVE HERE=*.xml CREATEFOLDER="xml for memoq and others" COPY MOVE HERE=*.rtf CREATEFOLDER="rtf for workbench"
