I dont really know anything about applescript but i want to make automator folder action to automatically move TV shows into the correct folders when they are downloaded.
Right now i have about 30 folder actions which are just basically this:
-filter finder items
-name contains "tv show name"
-move finder items to "tv show name" folder
and thats a real pain cos whenever something is downloaded all these folder actions go off one after the other, so i want to make one single folder action using some applescript to be able to read the file name and put it into the correct folder according to the name.
the folders have the exact same name as the mkv/mp4 files but with only the difference of not having an episode number on the end,
eg "[tv show name] - 07"
basically to make that simpler this is what i want:
-an mkv file is automatically renamed to the format: "[show name] - xx" and moved to my TV shows folder
-a single folder action will take the file "[name] - xx.mkv" and put it into the folder "[name]"
eg:
"Workaholics S04E12 HDTV x264-EXCELLENCE [eztv].mp4" ==renamed==> "Workaholics - 12.mp4" ==moved==> "TV Shows" folder
folder action gets "Workaholics - 12.mp4" ==moved==> "Workaholics" folder
ive already got the green part down but i know almost nothing about applescript so i cant get an efficient single folder action like that
i know im asking a bit much but if u can please help id really appreciate it, thanks
