Re: renaming directories and moving files into them (NSFileManager)

not sure what to say, my code wasn’t doing that.

I ended up churning through all the files once, finding the .mp4s, getting the whereas information and then making the directory I needed first.

I just didn’t have more time to spend trying to figure it out.

Now I feel like I need to though... :-/

that it was ‘making’ a new directory with -APPL at the end was the oddest part. rather than moving it.
