I plan to use the Renamer tool to clean up my folder structure.
The following syntax in Move D:\Photos Prior Years\{File.DateTime|format:YYYY}\{File.DateTime|format:YYYY-MM-DD}
Creates a folder:
D:
2004
2004-01-02
Instead of above, is it possible to create a folder "2004-01-02 ¦ " So that I can then manually append a description.
Fails if I add " ¦ "
Keep in mind that | has a special meaning in variables. You have to escape it with ~ i guess.
Also, the | is not allowed in file or folder names in Windows. It is used to pipe input and output.
I was using "¦" not "|"
The former is OK in folder paths, the latter not.
Further experimentation, I found that it wasn't the "¦" causing an issue but the trailing space, so "D:\Photos Prior Years\{File.DateTime|format:YYYY}\{File.DateTime|format:YYYY-MM-DD} ¦" is OK, but with a trailing space "D:\Photos Prior Years\{File.DateTime|format:YYYY}\{File.DateTime|format:YYYY-MM-DD} ¦ " causes the move to fail
Because of course a trailing spaced is not permitted in a Windows file name.
Problem solved, I just type a space when I am editing the folder name to input a description.
By the way, I just love the folder renamer for moving files. So powerful!
