Help with nest conditions and subfolders Tue Nov 06, 2018 2:28 pm • by kaiowas
I would like to move files inside subfolders to another directory according to the file type.

The scenario is as follows...

I have a folder called “ORIGINAL FILES” with various folders inside called “CARD-1”, “CARD-2”, “CARD-3”, …..

Each folder CARD-x have the following structure: CARD-x / DCIM / xxx_PANA / photos and movies files here (*.jpg and *.mp4)

I would like to move according to file type to a different folder.

For example:

Move all video files inside the folder:
ORIGINAL FILES / CARD-1 / DCMI / xxx_PANA / *.mp4

To:
ORGANIZED FILES / CARD-1-MOVIE / *.mp4

And all photo files from initial folder to:
ORGANIZED FILES / CARD-1-PHOTO / *.jpg

Doing the same for the other folders called CARD-x.

I'm trying to do this with nest conditions, but I'm not getting it to work.

Thank you for any help.

To actually go into subfolders, you don't use nested conditions for that. Search for "subfolders" in the help as there's a chapter for that.
