I have a ton of files I would like to sort manually into various folders.
I would like to select a file, and press a hotkey, which would pop up a window of the folders in a pre-configured location, and allow me to filter the list down by typing characters to narrow down the folder list, and then once I select one (and click OK?), KM moves the selected file to the location.
Any help would be appreciated in this solution, or an equivalent one, of course!
There are lots of ways of doing this and it really depends on what kind of interface you want to use.
The basic Action is Move File to Folder using the Token %Finder Selection% (which means the Macro will act on whatever file you have selected in the Finder).
Each of these methods would allow you to set the file path as a Variable and to use that in the Move File to Folder Action. Something like this (in this case the Variable is called Local_Folder to Move to)
Another simpler approach would be to make a separate Macro for each file path and give them all the same hotkey. When pressing the hotkey the Conflict Palette would pop up allowing you to trigger the Macro you want by pressing the first letter of its name.
Have a go and if you get stuck, upload the Macro as you have it to this thread, so the folks here can troubleshoot it.
Now I have to see if there is a way to optimize the folder list such that it doesn't have to generate it each time I run it, and to get it working in PathFinder instead of Finder.
