Move Folders in the Finder to a New Location and Rename Them Using the Parent's Parent Directory Name

Okay, but that's not what you said before:

Thus my confusion.

~/Downloads/Flat icons Vol. 1/PNG/128

This is not definitively a folder, and it's helpful to know for sure what we're dealing with.

This would definitively be a folder – given the trailing slash.

~/Downloads/Flat icons Vol. 1/PNG/128/

Unix convention tends to leave off the trailing slash, but I think that's remarkably stupid due to the ambiguity.

That's not a before and after example. Verbal explanations are often unclear.

Your workflow is to what?

  • Select a folder.
  • Hit a hotkey.
  • Transform the name of the last folder in the path?
    • To exactly what?

If you haven't read this it's worth a couple of minutes of your time.
