Auto Move Files from a Scan Folder-with quick rules

[BrettUSA269]

Love this Great Program.

It would be great to be able to setup a scan and download folders where we can have files automatically moved to various folders based upon rules - file name characteristics where we can setup rules. This could be setup to run automatically at set intervals.

I do a lot of repetitive actions- scanning and dowloading where I have to organize and move files into various folders. I do this constantly on a monthly basis. It be great to automate this with your program.

I have on my TODO list to add a 'Scheduled task' feature.

An action could be: When a 'file' is found in folder 'x'
A task could be: Move the 'file' to folder 'y'.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Great.

Hope your able to allow rules because that would make it very powerful.

Something like if a file contains " XYX " company

I deal with a lot of different entities and constantly moving files based upon file names and it be great to automate moving files for organization purposes.

I tend to name and know other people may be different.


date + Company Abbreviation + Bank or Credit Card or etc + last four digits of account + Description + Amount

103121 RB WF 5464 Statement.pdf
100321 RB WF 5464 #1254 SCE $125.25.pdf
I would move the two files about into the RB sub folder > sub folder WF 5464

101521 ZB ccBofA 2845 Amazon $152.pdf
I would move the above into ZB sub folder > ccBofA 2845


Another Feature would be to setup a rule to automatic rename a file. Many times when I download and I to rename to a format similar to what I have. There are some other programs where I can do this but nice to have it all done by one to have a truly powerful program. Looking for Automation on repetitive tasks.

Everything has a multi-rename utility integrated. That can aslo be used to move files in subfolders.

Example:

• In the Everything resultlist, select all files you want to move this way
• From the menu, select File > Rename (or press F2)
• Fill in:

  Code: Select all

  Old Format = %1 %2 %3 %4.pdf
  New Format = %2\%3\%1 %2 %3 %4.pdf

• Check the New Filenames: box to see if correct
• Press OK
• Done

Also, Thanks for the Quick response - So many times with other programs/forums you post something and it takes a long time for a response.

Again - Job Well Done!!

Thanks I took a Look and looks interesting.

Question - are the settings saved or can I create multiple saved rename settings?

Not at the moment. It is under consideration for Everything 1.5 (I know I suggested it, but can't find the relevant thread atm)
For now I would suggest copy/pasting both fields.

Of course. A lot is dependent on timezones - one third of the world is asleep right now and can't answer questions.
Also: we are all volunteers here and on other forums, trying to help as good as we can given the time we have. Which can be a challenge from time to time.

Therefor: Your feedback is really appreciated. Thanks!
