Move to folder during rename

[mballe]

I thought it would be possible to move a file to a subfolder as part of renaming it, but I have not yet gotten it to work.

I tried using this simple rule to move a file into a subfolder named after the file extension.

%FileExtension{pathdelimiter=y}%FileName.%FileExtension

What am I doing wrong?

%FileExtension{pathdelimiter=y}%FileName.%FileExtension

You're missing the file path. try this:

Code: Select all

%FilePath{pathdelimiter=y}%FileExtension{pathdelimiter=y}%FileName.%FileExtension

Thanks. That worked.

If you rename a file, and the rename rule moves the file into a subfolder, the associated xmp sidecar files are not moved with the file.

One example is this simple rule:

Code: Select all

%FilePath{pathdelimiter=y}%FileExtension{pathdelimiter=y}%FileName.%FileExtension

Works fine here

Not for files that would normally have xmp embedded, like JPG and DNG

[Hert]

Ah yes, that will be fixed in the next build

[mballe]

Thanks Hert. Works perfect with latest build.

Except for one for problem. For versioned Raw(DNG)+JPG+xmp, only the Raw and xmp is moved to the subfolder.

The rename feature works on selected files.

If you want to rename all versioned files then:
1. Select your version set(s)
2. Right click on a version set
3. Select Show More -> From This Version Set
4. Select all files
5. Start the rename
