Subfolders+

Postby zxspectrum » Sat Oct 01, 2011 3:03 pm

Hi guys,

I'm trying to:

1. Scan a Folders subfolders for media type..let's say music.
2. If subfolder contains Music file then move Folder(top) to another location.

*So basically if any of the Folder levels contain music file, move that Folder(icluding it's subfolders, music files etc) to another location.

Thanks :!:

P.S please don't refer me to this link viewtopic.php?f=4&t=470 since it's not what i want.

You could try out the 3.0 beta as it should do that easily.

Otherwise, I think it would be hard to do currently. When you recurse down to the actual music file, it's unclear how you would specify how many folder levels up you want to go. You would probably need some specific scripting that is familiar with your folder organization to do it.

I suggest you post questions in the beta forum. But to give you a hint, select "any subfile/subfolder" in the conditions.
