Hello,
I have a lot of files in a few junk directories which I'd like to reorganise. I have RSI so cutting any keystrokes is a real bonus.
Basically I want to create 5 new subdirectories, and then prompt the user (me!) with each filename and the user then types 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to move it to that sub-directory
I'd like to launch this from an windows explorer window and process files from that 'root' location.
So far I have a repeat with folder to get each filename into %T2%, then I've created a separtate move macro for each of the 5 locations. The user is prompted with a pop up menu for each file, but this doesn't include the filename. Also I need to put a pause in to stop all the pop up menus appearing at once. There are far too many key presses required by this stage.
Macros are here...
From a Windows Explorer window we run this with a HotKey. It gets the path by copying from the address bar which is a bit clunky!
<TEXTTYPE:<ALT>D><DELAY:.5><CLIPC><TVAR2:01:03:><DOFILE:01:NN:%T1%>><DOFILE:02:NN:00 AUDIO>><DOFILE:02:NN:01 PROGRAMMING>><DOFILE:02:NN:02 UTILITIES>><DOFILE:02:NN:03 MP3>><DOFILE:02:NN:04 GAMES>><DOFILE:02:NN:05 MUSIC INSTRUCTION>><REP3:07:000002:000001:0002:0:01:%T1%><PAUSE3:T><MACRUN2:Move files><ENDREP>
==================
The other items are in the attached file.
Is there a more elegant way?
Thanks in advance,
