Use Case
As some of you may be aware, the Finder already offers a similar feature. While it works OK, this macro offers the following:
- A prompt to enter the folder name, which you can cancel.
- Tests for a folder already existing by the same name, and gives you an opportunity to cancel or overwrite.
So this macro may, or may not, be a benefit to you over the Finder feature. You can choose.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
- While I have given this limited testing, and to the best of my knowledge it will do no harm, I cannot guarantee it.
- If you have any doubts or questions:
- Ask first
- Turn on the KM Debugger from the KM Status Menu, and step through the macro, making sure you understand what it is doing with each Action.
