Move file to folder named same as prefix of filename.
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2016 12:18 amI'm brand new to Hazel and have no idea the steps needed to accomplish the following. Is this possible with match patterns or a script?
1. In post production, I utilize a naming convention for filenames: [client abbreviation].[name].mov.
2. When Adobe Media Encoder converts a file and places it in the output folder, I want Hasel automation to move the file to a folder of the same name, [client abbreviation], on the computer's Google Drive.
3. If possible, the [client abbreviation]. would be removed from the filename.
Note: I have over 1000 client folders and add them frequently.
Thank you for any help.
