Move files into new folders by date of files

Hi,

Move files into new folders by date of files.

Is there an automated way to move/copy files into newly created folders based on the file date?

e.g.
- I have 40 files in the left pane
- 20 are of the 1-1-2016 and 20 are of the 2-1-2016
- when I then move/copy the files to the right pane I want 2 folders named 20160101 and 20160102 and copy the files according their date into the right folder.

Regards,

André

You may use the Multi-Rename Tool

Code: Select all

Rename mask: [YMD]\[N]
This will move the files into the according folders in the SAME panel.

For moving them to the opposite panel you have to add the path manually such as:

Code: Select all

Rename mask: D:\Mypath\[YMD]\[N]

That leads to a new suggestion for TCs rename mask:
TC should replace strings like %T with the target path from the other pane.
