Re: Move up only files in subfolder
It will skip if e.g. folder 1 has more subfolders than 1 (or none at all) or if a subfolder contains more than one file (or none). You are sure that's not the case on your side?

c:\1 folder with subfolders 2 and 3
2.txt in folder 1
1.txt and 2.txt in subfolder 2
3.txt in subfolder 3
c:\1 folder with subfolders 2 and 3
2.txt in folder 1
1.txt and 2.txt in subfolder 2
3.txt in subfolder 3

[Solved] Move up only files in subfolder
Say I have multiple folders each with a subfolder and two files, one in the subfolder and the other one in the parent folder. How can I tell XYplorer to just move up the subfolder file but not the folder file? thanks

Hi, I have a bunch of PDF books that I want to batch rename according to their metadata info (for example "Title_Author_Year_Edition.pdf"). Can this be done with XYplorer? If so, how? Thanks
