@ALYB, of course if you want to use that script in KM, then you must:

  1. Set the destinationPath in a KM Variable
  2. Modify the script to read that KM Variable
  3. Put the script in an Execute AppleScript Action
  4. And you probably should add some error checking.

If anyone wants to modify the process, you don't need to know any scripting. For example, if you want to use a fixed Destination Folder, then all you need do is disable the Prompt for User, and add a simple Set Variable to Text action.

The main advantage of using a script for this is if you need to move many files (>> 100), then the script may be faster.
