Moving files if in a subfolder with specific name

Hi folks. I'm looking to set up a rule that will move files to a destination folder if the subfolder they're currently in has a specific name. In my use case (Cubase for audio), I have a project folder with a mostly identical subfolder hierarchy, and the audio files exported from Cubase end up in a subfolder named Mixdown. I'd like to send these audio files to a separate folder, while leaving any other audio files in place. Basically, if it's an audio file, and the containing folder is named Mixdown, then move it to the destination folder.

I seem to remember running across a containing folder condition somewhere along the way, but can't remember how I got there. I did see a Document Container condition, but I can't get it to match the file, either with "is", "starts with" or "matches" Mixdown.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Look up nested conditions. You can set up conditions to match the containing folder.
