How can I move files through Extendscript?

I'm asking this in the general forum script, but it seems pretty dead out there. I created a script that parses the file name and save that he based on a location that I want, but for older files, I would give up re-record to preserve timestamps and move these files to the new location, as they were sorted differently there a long time. Is this possible? I found "changePath" in the General documentation of the script, but although he returns true, it does not actually move the file.

Here's an example of how to make this work for those trying to do a similar thing on a mac:

App.System ("" osascript-e ' tell application \"finder\" to display alert (\"You did it!------" ") ' ' '");

  • How can I move files and leave a shortcut.lnk pointing to the new location.

    I'm trying to move only a TON of old files to a hard drive to free up space to backup.  I can't empty just them, it's a working environment with integrated (and archaic) process.  They must be able to find the new files without go hunting for them.  How can I move all the files that has not been changed since 2 years and leaves a link behind that points to the new location?

    I used successfully a utility call NoClone.  The goal is to search for duplicate files, but it has a way to specify any search string (date function as you requested) and then move all files to a new location, leaving behind .lnk files

    I used it to clear space on file shares, any movement toward a archive read-only stored on a NAS that gets backed up once per year.  In this way, nothing changes on the NAS of the end user (no need to save often).  If you need to edit the file, they copy him on its original location.

    If you have a lot of files, download the business version.

    In recent years I finally used, so I don't know if there is a newer version that might not work as did the old version.

  • How can I move files from project FCPX to a new computer?

    I need to spend several libraries and their events, clips and projects of an external hard drive that I used with my laptop while traveling. One of the problems is that the laptop did not survive the trip so I can't use the function "move project". How can I do this and maintain the media links? I just copy everything on my desk and then create a link to the files?

    Libraries are moved in the Finder. Your storage media - in the library or exrternaly?

  • How can I move files to the system folder?

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Steve

    In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

    This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

    What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

  • How can I move files and change, add or remove folders to rearrange my images in my photos?

    My photos are terribly unorganized and I want to organize them.  How can I do this without losing any files/folders?

    Create a bunch of folders, one for each of the categories you want
    organize. Then drag-and - drop or copy-and - paste hence they are
    in these new cases. If you do not know how to drag-and - drop and
    cut-and - paste, ticket return for more information.

    Your fear of losing files and folders also suggests that you do not have
    a backup copy. If this is the case, you are playing with fire.  It is always
    possible a disk hard crash, error of the user, near the lightning,
    virus attack, even stolen computer, may result in loss of
    everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of
    If you have a problem, but when.

  • How can I move files downloaded (e.g. mp3) in a folder

    I downloaded music files using the version of Android, but FireFox does not use the same download folder.
    When I access those files in FireFox, no option to move them to the folder where I want them - or do anything else with them except remove them. When I try to find them, I don't get any results using the name of file displayed by Firefox. I can't find any way to find where FireFox stores files, or to modify this default value.
    We are talking about 50 MB here, that I had to pay a lot of bandwidth to download.

    This could be caused by the http://bugzil.la/596370 - if you click on file is automatically opened by another application, Firefox delete when the browser closes. If you want to save the file at all times instead of just once consultation, you can press and hold on the link and choose 'Save link' instead of simply pressing it.

    It is a known issue with Firefox which I hope will be fixed in a future version.
