File Copy-Move Tool

Hi folks

 

I want to use the File Copy-Move Tool (bobpeers) to move a number of files sitting in one location to multiple locations, keeping same name and format etc. The tool looks ideal in principle but I've no idea how to set it up.

Has anyone used it to do this and can provide a little overview and some pointers? Would be a massive help.

 

thanks a lot.

I never heard about the tool that you are describing here, nevertheless you can do it with Command Tool, you can move, copy, delete, rename and many more functions.

This is a 3rd party solution therefore will not be able to check it.

As this is a Python tool it call for specific variables, have you set the path in and out correctly?

 

Have you installed all the needed Python packages?

@OTrieger been able to set it up with a simple Text Input tool which works well on a basic level. Need to figure out if I can use something more dynamic so I don't have to update the period for each file every month
