I see from “Move selected item to Documents, Pictures, or Music folder” posting that I can build a list of folders to move a selected file to via the conflict picker evoke by using the same hot key for multiple shortcuts. This is a good start, now: Can KM display a set of folders, say all folders i…

Keyboard Maestro can find all the folders in a directory. Displaying them as options is somewhat tricky, about the only good way would be using a Custom HTML Prompt which is non-trivial. Possibly you could use something from this: [image] Fancy Mac-Like HTML Prompts Library Macro…

The macro was not meant to be a solution, but rather something like a base to work on. The macro is far from being “finished” and I’m sure you can improve it without running “into your limited understanding”. I would, for example, add a check wether a file with the same name already exists at the d…

Ok, this is getting more and more interesting. Nice to see the same outcome from different approaches. Very fortunate to study examples of an issue that I’m focused on. Ya’ll are really generous. Thank you!! Now to carve out some time to pick these apart to see how they work…
