I'd like to know if the following is possible with Automator.
I want to be able to move any files, but in my special case videos and photos, from any possible device ( iPhone, iPad, SD card, but perhaps also from other directories) to my NAS, ordered by date. Each file type should have a separate directory, eg.
NAS://imported/video
NAS://imported/photos
What it should also do: within those separate directories, there should be a folder for each date a photo or video will be moved to(and it would also be important that you can customize the date format to yy-mm-dd
, dd-mm-yy
or the like, before you run the workflow )
NAS://imported/video/2014-11-04
NAS://imported/video/2014-11-05
Now every video made on november the 5th should be moved to NAS://imported/video/2014-11-05/video_file1.mp4
I know that it is no problem to move files by type into certain folders, but I dont know how to create date-specific folders for each file before the move-command....
I'm on MacOS 10.10 (Yosemite)
