Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Extended function for Files2Folder
« on: February 12, 2011, 05:15 AM »
Many thanks for the response. The description I gave was in the simplest form, as I can see other potential later. I am actually sorting pictures
The idea came from using Calibre and how it stores ebooks based on regular expressions. Unfortunately it puts each item into a subfolder of the group, rather than directly in the group, which would have meant i could have used Calibre to do the grouping.
The problem is selecting the images into sets. Most have one or other of the formats mentioned for the filenames, but there are multitudes of variants, and the list is continually growing. Automating the folderising would reduce the biggest manual part of the process to an insignificant number.
Once grouped, they can be placed in CBR format and loaded into calibre as sets or stored elsewhere.
So it does sound like what you have may work, I can always give it a try, maybe iron any bugs too if they exist
