You have it correct
  :up:

Although I have looked at AHK in the past only bits of it made sense. I still have a long, long way to go. :)

Ideally AHK so I can learn.

A dropzone where one or more folders can be dropped from various source locations.

Dropzone creates one or more empty folders of user defined name(s) inside dropped folder(s).

Sounds simple, but is it?

Purpose is to allow pre-population of folder sets for subsequent use.

TIA

I tend to just properties a file to get a date. as I do the age bit in my head, and rarely care about Hours and Minutes

I can't code anything, but can prompt a couple of questions that may arise.

The important thing is how are you determining the age of the file?

Days since created?
Days since modified?

Date created is NOT always the older of the two? File copied form another location for example.

OK, I believe I have identified part of the issue why it wasn't working as expected.

After using the suffix format "_Species_Name" I found it became cluttered, so tweaked it to _(Species_Names) which improved readability.
I also used the same technique to append the Location before the species name using "_(Location). Again it worked well, but didn't provide enough separation from "_Species_Name" so I decided to change the type of brackets fro Curved () to Square [], and that is when it all went wrong!

It looks like you can have a multitude of curved brackets, but as soon as you add a square bracket, no further additions will work!

Valid
_(Species_Names) _(Species_Names) _(Species_Names) _(Species_Names)
_(Species_Names)_[Location]
_[Location]

Not Valid
_[Location]_(Species_Names)
_[Location]_[Location]

Obviously, you wouldn't have two locations, but it does illustrate the issue of bracket type, thus limiting the methods usefulness

Also You can use Curly bracket {} but I can't tell the difference between curved. You can not use greater or less than <> either.

I assume this is down to the way Powershell works?

Maybe an AHK driven interface is the way to go in the long run, to make the whole thing faster and easier to configure for different uses using "profiles". Unfortunately I lack those skills

Is the machine set to shut down or hybrid hibernate which is the default on W10. If the latter it's not something like  a Wake on LAN or Wake on USB?
