Sort files after top folder.

[NewJonas]

Hello, I need some help.

I can’t find any guide on the forum, at least not something I understand.

My problem is, I want to move all files inside a folder into another folder named after something from the top folders name.


If I for instance have a folder called, “Verylongname10” and it has some files inside it.

Then I want hazel to move all the files inside it out, and sort them into a subfolder with the pattern “name100” from the top folder “Verylongname10”.


I already know how to move files from inside a folder out with the pattern of something of the file name. But I don’t know how to name it after the folder it came from.


This is what I’ve been able to do so far:

To do this, you can try a nested condition: https://www.noodlesoft.com/kb/how-to-cr ... onditions/

Code: Select all

If (all) match
   If (all) match for (the enclosing folder)
       Name matches (• parent name)
...


where (•parent name) matches anything. What that does is match the parent name and stores it into that custom attribute which you can then use later. Give that a shot.
