Hi All!
im using the tags feature to tag files/folder based on the use/type of the file/folder,
e.g. Research.pdf - tag "research"
Documentary.avi - tag "must watch"
i then move the files/folders based on the tag, so i will find all the files with tag "research", select it all, then move it to a "research" folder in a different drive, this is like an archive/backup drive.
i would like to make a script or tell xyplorer to auto move files/folder based on their tag, the destination folder is the same as the tag value, would this be possible?
Thank You!
Would it possible to auto move files/folder based on tags?

Re: Would it possible to auto move files/folder based on tag
I think it is possible, and if not it should be made possible.
A question to our scriptors: a new function ListItemsByTag() or so would make this much easier, right? I currently cannot seem to find a fast way to do it by scripting.
Or wait, much better would be a QuickSearch() function that would return the search results in a list (like listfolder)?

QuickSearch, yes.
For completeness it shouldn't ignore custom columns' items.

That's something I'm waiting for since... scriptingQuickSearch()
The speed of quick search combined with no gui output. Another large step for a better scripting environment!
