Move files in a folder NOT titled <insert title here>

Hey guys,

I want to move my books into an automatic import folder which is called Calibre auto import. My books often download in their own folders so im trying to come up with a rule that will let me have the downloaded books which download in their own files and the calibre auto import folder in the same dir - then move the books from their individual folders they download into to the calibre auto import dir.

ie.
Calibre auto import
Book folder 1 - contains pdf
Book folder 2 - contains mobi


Moving the pdf and mobi files to the calibre auto import folder and then deleting the folders they came through when done. I would preferably like this to happen every 5 hours.

Can anyone help me out?

Read the sticky article on going into subfolders at the top of this forum. You'll want to tweak that rule so as to not go into the auto import folder. You'll need separate rules to move the files and to remove the empty folder. If you only want this to happen every 5 hours, you can either use the "Current time" attribute to do it on a schedule or use "Date last matched is not in the last 5 hours".
