Hi everyone. I have a terabyte of music samples of different types (kicks, snares, vocal samples, etc) that I go through regularly in Finder. Often I want to "favorite" one by copying it into a designated folder for its type. The designated folders are all in a master "Favorite Samples" folder, co…

Thanks @BernSh , I'll check that out. I am willing to use Applescript, but I have little experience with it. Here is someone else's attempt at something similar using AS: [image] Dynamically creating new palette entries Questions & Suggestions I am interested in being abl…

Another way of going about this... similar to what I'm doing now, but using a plist/text file instead of "listing contents of folder x" to generate palette entries. Have a text/plist file with one line for each user-desired destination (e.g. Drums > Kicks), which automatically creates palette entri…

Following up on this months later.. it's still something I deal with all the time. Any proposed solutions welcome.

I'm in the same boat. I have hundreds of Logic sessions all over my various drives and I'm trying to categorise them by project, level of completion, genre etc. Did you ever figure this out? I think perhaps AppleScript might be a good route, as it would mean undo steps would be available, in case, …

A different approach/mindset is go folder lite and tagging heavy. Have a smallish base file structure and use Finder tags for the rest of the organization. A tagging/untagging palette is easy to setup. Tagging is more agile and easier than moving files. Having a list of tagging groups in the Finde…

Hey Guys, I don't want to mess with this, but I have some suggestions. You can't dynamically create a palette based on a file structure. You can use AppleScript in a macro to update such a palette on demand. ( Link ) Note – the linked macro doesn't do the job you want – it's just an example of …

...meanwhile... I've been over on the Alfred forum, researching options there. All I'll say about the experience so far is that I love the KM forum even more than I already did! I don't want to speak too soon, but I may be very close to a nice solution for this, at least for me. The beauty of usin…

Another option. @JMichaelTX put this together for me an age ago and it's still working. You select a file and trigger the macro and it calls up a regular Finder nav window. Go to where you want to move the file and click open and the file moves to the selected location. Coupling this with Default …

Yet another option, which I think I might try using for the time-being. It's brutal but it works. It uses KM for everything except destination navigation, which is handled by Alfred. The only thing you need to set up in Alfred is a "Browse in Alfred" action with a hotkey. This will navigate to your …

Hey @nrightnour

I definitely do not know how to do this and I’m engaged is a related conversation over here looking to simplify filing and the ongoing updating of structures to do that. Stop over and see if it inspires anything for you.
