This filter moves files and folders to different folders.

• The target path to move items to is combined of two parts:
  • Root Folder: A static and absolute destination path is required here.
  • Sub-Folder: This part is optional. You may input a format string that contain formatting parameters, to dynamically create sub-folders below Root Folder.
• Target parent path for each item is combined from Root Folder trailed with Sub-Folder.
• You may use the backslash character (\) to indicate folder levels (hierarchies) and create deep directory structure.
• If specified path not exist, the filter will create folders and sub-folders.
• Files only (and not folders) can be moved across disk volumes.
• Original folders (before moving) will not be erased, even if empty.
• Changes can be can be previewed in the Rename List by adding a preview Parent Folder or Full File Path field from the File Name group.
• You can manually move files by using the Manual Rename feature to rename the Parent Folder or Full File Path fields.
• Additional way to move items:
  You can change the apply target of any text filter to Parent Folder or Full File Path field. For example, apply the Formatter Filter on the Parent Folder field.

Example:

Root Folder: "C:\Music\New"
Sub Folder: "<id3-artist:0> (<id3-year:0>)\<id3-album:0>"

C:\Downloaded-Music\03 - Blue Moon Revisited.mp3 >>> C:\Music\New\Cowboy Junkies (1988)\The Trinity Session\03 - Blue Moon Revisited.mp3
