Hello guys and gals... One of my most used commands (I call Truncate) , moves the contents of a selected folder into it's parent folder, and then deletes said folder. this is the code for the command: **(This is my user command named "MoveSelectedtoParent":** Copy MOVE {filepath}* TO {filepath|..}…

The problem is that ChildPath is not a defined variable, so your second line is basically: Delete FAILNOTEMPTY NORECYCLE QUIET The following seems to work (on itself, not tested as a menu option): Copy MOVE {filepath}* TO {filepath|..} Delete {filepath} FAILNOTEMPTY NORECYCLE QUIET But be carefu…

[image] travibe: Does the "@runonce" command have anything to do with that? Probably. It depends how you define the ChildPath variable. Could you post the entire MoveSelectedtoParent command?

I did. Everything under (This is my user command named "MoveSelectedtoParent": Copy MOVE {filepath}* TO {filepath|..} Delete {$ChildPath} FAILNOTEMPTY NORECYCLE QUIET That is my "MoveSelectedtoParent" code. Underneath that, I showed how I used that i my context menu. Just wanted to give the most t…

I couldn't find any reference to that ChildPath variable in the docs. I'll check later this evening.

Thank you dude, I appreciate your help. I didn't create this string of code myself, I'm not that smart... I asked quite a long time ago for someone to help me with this function and it worked brilliantly until I noticed that it wasn't. I can look back through my post history to see who wrote this …

Ok perfect man I will go test it right now. I dont know where the hell I got that Childpath thing from but glad thats what it was.

The one I have (but it does not work with multiple folders) is the following: @set ChildPath={filepath$|noterm} Copy MOVE "{$ChildPath}/*" TO "{$ChildPath}/.." Delete FILE="{$ChildPath}" NORECYCLE SKIPNOTEMPTY QUIET It uses ChildPath, but defines it at the beginning.

[image] PassThePeas: Copy MOVE {filepath}* TO {filepath|..} Delete {filepath} FAILNOTEMPTY NORECYCLE QUIET Oh - you're saying you defined that value for that specific function, it isn't something that is cooked into DOpus by default, right?

I think I got it from this forum, and the entire function sets the variable ChildPath at the beginning. To be more precise {filepath} is defined by Opus, but {ChildPath} is not.

There are some scripts in the forum called unpack folder.

Here are five ways to do this. The uncommented one is the one I actually use. Copy MOVE FILE "{filepath$}\*" HERE WHENEXISTS=rename Delete ALL FORCE NORECYCLE QUIET //Copy MOVE FILE "{filepath$}\*" T0={sourcepath} WHENEXISTS=ask //Delete ALL FORCE NORECYCLE QUIET //Copy MOVE FILE="{filepath$}*" T…
