Rename into subfolders

[Viper007Bond]

I apologize if this is already possible, but I couldn't figure out how.

I'd like the ability to rename into subfolders. For example:

foobar.blah-coolfile.jpg -> \foobar\blah\coolfile.jpg

I tried just putting in a \, but of course it said that was a non-allowed filename.

And before anyone says it, no, just stripping off the first bit of the filename and then manually moving them into a subfolder will not work. I want to move a couple thousand files into a couple hundred folders.

Hi,

Yes , unfortunately this logic does not currently exist. BRU allows you to rename files to a new location, but it needs a fixed location. This is because it uses the Windows API "MoveFileEx" to move the file, and the destination folder must already exist. So the logic is not particularly flexible.

Would it not be possible for BRU to just make the folders and then move them in?

But anyway, don't worry about it. I just realized that I can move all the files over to my local development webserver and use a couple lines of PHP to easily do it.

It would be possible I guess.
