What does your source folder look like?

What do you want it to look like at the end?

What does the target folder look like?

  1. the source folder have 900 JPEG that order by date crated ,the newest JPEG is in number 1 from the top of the list

  2. i want that the end file will be with 30 photo

    (those number can divide by 30)

OK
i am changing the request
think like this
you have 1000 files in folder call "1" in desktop
i just need 100 files from that folder (1000 divide by 10)
but random 100 files
and the macro will put those 100 in the desktop

Something like:

  • For Each action with Folder Contents collection in variable Path, folder ~/Desktop/1
    • If action with Calculation condition [RANDOM](https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/function/RANDOM)() < 0.1
      • Move action from %Variable%Path% to ~/Desktop

That will move roughly 10% of files from the 1 folder to the Desktop folder.
