Using Automator to move files one folder up
Greetings,
I would like to create a workflow that selects all the items in a folder and moves them one folder-level up. I have, I believe, figured out all the selection and moving steps, but I cannot figure out how to specify the directory -- Automator, as is, seems to only allow me to specify a fixed path, not a relative path. I suspect I need to use an Applescript module in the workflow, but I don't know how. I want to start with this: PARENT_FOLDER CHILD_FOLDER FILE1 FILE2 : : FILE99 and end with this: PARENT_FOLDER FILE1 FILE2 : : FILE99 CHILD_FOLDER Also, if someone wanted to tell me how to delete CHILD_FOLDER after the move, I wouldn't say no. Thanks, Ted |
