| Hi all,
Long time listener, first time caller.
I have created a simple Automator service to move selected folders and/or files to another folder.
The idea is that by selecting or multi-selecting folders and/or files, I can control-click, invoke a command and choose a destination folder using a standard Choose Folder dialog in Finder. The folders/files are then moved to that destination folder.
This avoids having to tile windows into order to drag and drop from the source to the destination folders.
My current solution is to simply use the “Move Finder Items” action, and having the option “Show this action when the workflow runs” enabled.
The main problem is that you get a number of un-necessary interactions: you need to click the default destination folder to open the full Choose dialog, then select the destination in the full dialog, then click the Continue button.
I tried using variables, but the variables will invariably (pun unavoidable) get the selected files as well as the destination folder. I don’t know how to force Automator to only use the last folder in the list.
I have tried using an AppleScript, but I can’t find a Move command for Finder that processes multiple selections.
Any thoughts or advice? |
