The macro presents a pick-list allowing the user to specify a destination to move the items selected in the Finder.
The macro has a default set of paths, which are not likely to work on your system – so you'll need to delete them and start from scratch.
There is a companion macro for adding the selected item to the destination list (See Post #2).
I'm not presently supporting tags in the pick-list, although I will probably add that feature sometime soon.
Note that this version only displays the NAME of the destination folder and not the full path. I will probably change this later and leave the display name entirely up to the user.
Hi Chris. This is a very handy macro. Thank you for sharing it.
One note: if one selects a folder from the pick-list that does not exist, the macro renames the file rather than moving it. Consider adding a folder-exists check before running the Move or Rename File action. Thanks.
one think is that at least in my system when the list to create the variable DND_MSI_moveToDestinationFolderPathList is set to when empty (which is the default of the macro i downloaded) it dosent seem to accept the new paths i annually added nor does your accompanying script works.
does that make sense?
i did edit it manually as you mentioned in the KM variable editor:
yet when i launch the command it still shows the old example list. anyway no rush ill just wait for the next Version with the text list, sound super convineient
thx so much as always for all your amazing work, always super appreciate!!
If you look at the screen shot you took here, the list for the original macro has a single underscore for the variable. But the "Add selected folder" macro uses double underscores.
I got it all working once I changed the first macro to use double underscores like in this pic
If you use this slightly modified version, and just create a duplicate for each path (all triggered by the same hotkey), you will get a conflict pallet instead of the "choose from" picker. Save a keystroke : D
Sorry @ccstone I didn't modify the author, etc comment field because it's such a small tweak. Lemme know if that's not kosher.
