Hello again,

I have attached 2 video files.

The first video shows how things are going when everything is fine.

SetFolDate-01-How it should go-2018-03-17_075841.wmv


In the 2nd video:
- there already exists a folder (that normally SetFolDate would have created)
- but in that folder there are already 2 files, copies  of files that SetFolDate is going to 'handle'
so, when SetFolDate is working, it stumbles over existing files and report an error, rightfully so.
in case of a few files (a few warnings), no problem, but in case of many files.... you have to click 'Skip' many times.

Is there no way to force SetFolDate to overwrite existing files in such a case?

Second video: SetFolDate-02-Crash_2018-03-17_080530.wmv

Thanks

Gave this tool a try. This is the 1st time, just to see what it is actually doing.
Portable version showed:

I am using this tool (very) often. It works fine in 99,9% of the cases.
The 0,1% is -my- mistake...

Say, I have files like
blablabla-01-28022018 110001.jpg
blablabla-02-28022018 110022.jpg
blablabla-03-28022018 110031.jpg

it will create folder named blablabla

when such folder already exists, it will run into an error - rightfully so.

however, if I am doing this for, let;s say, 100 files or so, I need to hit 'esc' 100x times.

i wonder whether it is possible to adjust the tool in that way that in case a folder already exists,
then that folder should be used.

if it is too much work, too complicated, whatever, forget it.

Thank you all!
As for DropIt I tried following, without success.

Mouser: I checked his site, likely I am overlooking it, but eh .. which AHK ?
wraith808: I came accross Belvedere, but one way or the other I could not download it and I assumed, considering the age of the program that it wasn't supported anymore, i.e. I went on.
There are many, many tools around,
see http://www.softpedia.com/downloadTag/Monitor%20Folder

After spending quite some time on checking them out, I also find a relatively simple solution with Powershell.

Seems to work fine.

created a powerscript file (.ps1)

e.g. MoveImages.ps1

for (;;) {
    start-sleep -s 10
    move-item C:\Users\Username\Documents\*.png N:\JPG\Catalog
    move-item C:\Users\Username\Documents\*.jpg N:\JPG\Catalog
}


then run with powershell.

It may not be as fancy as some tools around, but effective just for this task.

I have NO knowledge of Powershell and scripting, I picked this up from Stackoverflow.
Add the .ps1 file to Windows startmenu, right-click "Run with Powershell", or better
associate .ps1 with Powershell.exe (often ps1 is associated with Notepad)
