Automate "Move File" macro creation

[JMichaelTX]

@BernSh

For each location I want on the Palette. The list I've pictured above has 20 locations which required 20 individual actions like this with each action housed in its own named macro which name appears on the palette. How else could it possible be done???

I think the issue here is that you are not using the best tool for the job. KM Palettes were not designed in a way that supports this type of workflow. That's why I mentioned:

@JMichaelTX

put the folder list in a KM global variable (or even a text file), and use that as a selection list.

That is exactly the method that @gglick provided you above:

I thought I could at least show you an example macro that uses a variable (local in this case, but a global one could be used as well) to offer a list of folders to use as file destinations:

You can use either Global or Local variable depending on your use case. If you want the list of folders to be available in other Macros, then use a Global variable. Else a Local variable would be preferred so that your Global variable space is not polluted.

The Prompt With List action does not provide a much customization as some of us would like, but it works very well. At a macro level it does the same thing as a palette: Provide a popup window to select an item.

If you need features the Prompt with List does not have, you can use a great macro by: MACRO: Spotlight Search Prompt by @DanThomas.

Since this macro makes use of the KM Custom HTML Prompt action, you can customize it as much as you like, limited only by your imagination and HTML/JavaScript skills.

Good luck. I hope one of the options will work for you.
