Automatically Copying Files by Extension

[Glacier]

Original post that I am using as an example.

Automatically Filing Files by Extension

Here is an example macro that shows how to automatically file images (jpg and jpeg extensions in this case) from the Desktop into the Pictures folder. The macro runs every hour. Obviously, you can adjust the macro any way you want to handle files with different extensions, process different folders, trigger by different means, etc. [image]

This macro seems like it would work for me. My issue is while trying to build it is that I do not seem to have.

The files in directory: option does not seem to be available. Am I missing something? I realize this is a very old example. Here is what I have tried so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You were very close and were missing the closing % sign after path twice. Here is an updated version.

"Prior to version 8.0, the only options were recursive or the unordered direct contents of the folder. This allows you, for example, to find the most (or least) recently added file, or the largest or smallest."

Thank you! That was my mistake.

@Glacier

That was my mistake.

I have done things like that more times than I can count. The error that popped up was a little tricky to interpret and unless you know what to look for it's easy to miss. Which I many times don't and have been helped my many kind people on this forum.
