divide pic into two sub-folders according to content in name...

[petri71]

Hello,I use a camera (Lumia 1020) that is giving two kinds of photo for each shot... but it's the same format. The difference is the size and the name, the big one has "highres" in the name of the picture...I would like to have an script within GC that would divide the lowers from the highres and move them in different subfolders of the one they are in.How could I do that ? Do I have to write a script ? if yes, could anyone help me with the content ? I really suck at this.Otherwise is there a place I can customize the move into folders options ?Thank you in advance for your answersPetri

well it looks like GC will not be able to do it for me...So I have tried to customize an old script of mine but can't make it work :---------property _subfolder_hr : "HighRes" tell application "Finder" set _slidefolder to choose folder set HighResfolder to make new folder at _slidefolder with properties {name:_subfolder_hr} move (get files of _slidefolder whose name contains "highres") to HighResfolder end tell--------could anybody help or point me in the direction of a good forum where I could find the help ?Thank you

G'dayTryproperty _subfolder_hr : "HighRes"tell application "Finder" set _slidefolder to choose folder make new folder at _slidefolder with properties {name:_subfolder_hr} set pathToHighResFolder to _slidefolder & _subfolder_hr as text move (get files of _slidefolder whose name contains "highres") to folder pathToHighResFolderend tellRegardsBrian

I thought that you might want to run your moving script more than once, and my original post would cause an error, so I've modified it.property _subfolder_hr : "HighRes"tell application "Finder" set _slidefolder to choose folder set pathToHighResFolder to _slidefolder & _subfolder_hr as text if not (exists folder pathToHighResFolder) then make new folder at _slidefolder with properties {name:_subfolder_hr} move (get files of _slidefolder whose name contains "highres") to folder pathToHighResFolderend tellRegardsBrian

I've read your first post, and realized that you don't really know about Applescript.So, I thought you might find it a lot easier to have an application on your desktop to do the moving, rather than opening and running a script.Open the script below in Applescript editor.Save it as 'Save as' and call it whatever name you desire, as  an Application, on your desktop.Then simply double click the new app.RegardsBrianproperty _subfolder_hr : "HighRes"on run tell application "Finder" set _slidefolder to choose folder set pathToHighResFolder to _slidefolder & _subfolder_hr as text if not (exists folder pathToHighResFolder) then make new folder at _slidefolder with properties {name:_subfolder_hr} move (get files of _slidefolder whose name contains "highres") to folder pathToHighResFolder end tellend run

This one removes the choose-folder code and operates directly on the folder open in the front GC Browser Window.--Best Regards,Chris-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------# Auth: Christopher Stone# dCre: 2014/08/06 11:45# dMod: 2014/08/06 12:59# Appl: Finder, GraphicConverter 9# Task: Move hiRez files to subfolder of original starting at folder in front GC Browser.# Libs: None# Osax: None# Tags: @Applescript, @Script, @Finder, @GraphicConverter_9, @Move, @Files-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------try    tell application "GraphicConverter 9"    tell front window      set srcFldr to its file as text    end tell  end tell    if srcFldr ends with ":" then    tell application "Finder"      set aliasList to (files of (alias srcFldr) whose name contains "_highres.jpg") as alias list      if length of aliasList > 0 then        set destFldr to (srcFldr as text) & "HighRes:"        try          set destFldr to alias destFldr        on error          set destFldr to (make new folder at srcFldr with properties {name:"HighRes"}) as alias        end try        move aliasList to destFldr      else        error "No HighRez files were found!"      end if    end tell  else    error "A Browser Window Must Be Frontmost!
