Create new folder with selected items

I have a bunch of movies that I would like to place into individual folders of the same name (Without the extension name). I wanted to try and create a keyboard command to do this with the selected files, but can't manage to figure out how!
What I did was try to create a new service command in automator, then went to keyboard shortcuts in system preferences to assign a keyboard command to it.
I want to make something that works like control-command-n (to create new folder from selected items), only I want the items to be in individual folders of the same name.
eg.
Files selected such as:
The incredibles.avi
Cinderella.mkv
Dogma.mp4
each moved into individual folders labeled as:
The Incredibles
Cinderella
Dogma
Also, is there a way to change the control-command-n shortcut so it can create a new folder from a single item? It only works when there is more than one file selected.
Thanks so much for any help!

I am going to guess that you start off with a single file - what are you doing to generate these files? My *Get Names of Finder Items* action can get a name to use in the *New Folder* action - items passed to the New Folder action will get copied to it, so a little more detail may help in creating the workflow.
The *Dispense Items Incrementally* action can also be used to dole out the items one at a time - knowing what the workflow is doing would help with the use of this action as well.

Create new folder with name of file?

I am generating about 20 files from a 3d model. I open the model let's say the name is "delorean" then I want to create a new folder with all the generated files. I'm using a watch me Do to generate the files. The watch me do will save them in whatever folder I specify ahead of time. Should I just specify new folder each time, then rename it with the file name afterwards? If so how do I get the original file name so that I can use it to rename the file. Is there an example of doing something like this somewhere?
Thanks.
This forum is great.

Create new folder and move items script

Hello
Im new to applescript and automator.
I've been looking high and low for something and figured I should ask the pros here...
I want the ability to have a "hot folder" that when ever anything is placed in the folder, a new folder is created in the top directory of that hot folder using the modified date as the new folders name and the contents of the hot folder are moved to the correct folder.
My thought was to upload pictures to this folder (on an external drive) and have the script put them in the correct folder that was created by the script. I could use either "modified date" "created date"...
Is this common? Possible?
Any ideas how I could do this?
Thanks All!!!

a new folder is created in the top directory of that
hot folder using the modified date as the new folders
name
Is that the modified date of the files that you
dragged to the "hot folder"?
If so, that would probably require AppleScript since
Automator can't get that information from the files.
For the rest of it-as a starting point
New Folder
Rename Finder Items (Add Date and Time)
Save As Plugin- for Folder Action - attach to your
hot folder.
Note: You don't want to create the new folder in the
hot folder, doing so will likely cause it to loop
continuously.
Yes I would like to pull the "created date" or "modified date" from the files I drop in the HOT Folder and use that date as the new folders name.
So if I put 10 pictures in that Hot Folder and 5 had the same created date then those 5 would go to one newly created folder et cetera..
And no, the new folder will be either above or along side the Hot folder. Not in it.. good catch!

Exchange 2010 Create new folder for select users off the root of the mailbox

I need to create a new folder for a select set of users. This folder needs to be off the root of their mailbox. I considered using a custom managed folder but we do not have the enterprise CAL’s to support this option. I only have
about 15 users so I could do this one by one if needed. I am not a powershell user but have been using the Exchange Management Shell and would like to us this app to create the folders but I’m not finding the right syntax for the new-mailboxfolder cmdlet.
What is the correct method for using the EMS to create a new folder in a mailbox.

I was checking back thru my notes and seem to remember running this cmdlet:
[PS] C:\Users\administrator.STOUSE\Desktop>get-mailboxPermission | FL
cmdlet Get-MailboxPermission at command pipeline position 1

CopyListItem - creating a button in the ribbon and opening the new form with selecting item id data.

Hi,
            In Sharepoint 2013 online without visual studio, I need to create a copy button in the ribbon and by selecting a listitem and clicking the copy button. A new form has to be displayed with
the selected listitem data. Please help me in doing this scenario.
Scenario:
             Since Customer does not want to enter all the data once again. The customer will select a listitem and click the copy custom button in the ribbon, the data should be loaded in
a new form. The customer will do little modification and will click the submit button to save as a new list item.  Please help me in doing this scenario
Thanks

Files removed from folders, added into a "new folder with items"

Just found files missing from document folders in multiple places, all appear to have been moved to a single folder called "new folder with items" under my user folder. Folder structure all in tact - just files all (or rather nearly all) moved.
I'm restoring from back up now but ***?! had this mac for a year with no issues until now. No major tinkering done on the mac to have caused such a dramatic issue.

If the directory name were random (most likely not even readable), that would mean the file system is corrupted and in need to be repaired ASAP, but as the name is in plain english it seems it was assigned programmatically.
As most Unix derivatives, Mac OS X has a program called fsck.
Each time a disk is "mounted" fsck checks if the file system is in a consistent state. If "dangling" files are found, they are collected in a special directory called "lost+found".
Apple could have changed fsck to create a directory "new folder with items" instead of "lost+found", but I think this is unlikely.
Perhaps someone more familiar with fsck could confirm, but in the meantime I would not rule out other theories.
P.S.
The files could still have been selected from the "All my files" category on the sidebar which looks like "flat" directory as far as the finder is concerned.

How to create new user with more than one default folder

hi
A new user created in OCS has only one default folder(Inbox).
I want to create new user with customized default folder.
for example:
a new user has more than one default folder(Inbox,Outbox,Draft,Dustbin...)
And also I want to automaticly enable the functions:
When sending messages, place a copy in Outbox
Keep message drafts in Draft
Move deleted messages to Dustbin
who know that?
thanks

The same reason that Apple and 3rd Party vendors put multi-size templates in one file I expect. I am trying to construct an in-house standard template for use in our company, and it is easier to manage if there is only one file to send to people rather than many - both initially and for subsequent edits / updates to the template.
Of course it would be possible to create several templates (one for each size). But since it is clear that templates can be combined, it appears sensible to do this - unless the doing of it is horridly complicated

Problem with "Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer" CC 2014

Hello, I'm experienced with Photoshop but am new to 3D text in Photoshop. I type in some text and convert to a shape. When I choose Create New Extrusion from Selected Layer I get dialog box I don't see in any tutorials. It says "You are about to create a 3D layer. Would you like to switch to the 3D workspace? Yes/No, Don't show again." Which should I use for 3D text?
If I choose Yes, all the panels go away and the content in the tool options bar (ribbon?) just under the menu bar go away. I have to restart Photoshop to get the tool options back. What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks - Dave

I just chose "No" and didn't look back. I like my workspace just as it is, and don't prefer Photoshop to change it for me under this particular case.
You can make the 3D panel visible yourself via Window - 3D. I find it's a good alternate for the Actions panel, as I don't have any actions at the moment that work in the 3D world.
The panels you'll want to see easily if you work on 3D are the 3D panel and the Properties panel, among a few others.
Regarding getting your workspace back the way you like it... Note the little selector near the upper-right corner of the Photoshop main window. That can be used to select a workspace. I suggest you experiment and get familiar with the concept of workspaces. You can define your own and save it with a name, and that truly can be helpful.

How to create a folder with date each day?

I've not used Automator, just once to "create" a workflow to create a new folder with a name; but what I want is this:
Each morning at 12:01 am, a new folder to be created with the correct date as the name of the folder.
So for tomorrow, Sunday 23 Nov 2008 at 12:01, I'd suddenly have a folder on my Hard Drive that would have the date like 23 Nov 2008 or 11/23/2008 or 23-11-2008 or similar.
Then at the end of a week I'd have 7 of these; - but I can manually trash them-- I want to create these on my HD since I backup via SuperDuper! each morning (automatically) at 3:35 am (incremental backup to an external La Cie HD) and I want to know if was done, so by having a folder with the date on it I can open the external HD and if I see that that folder with the recent date is there, then I'm confident the BackUp was run.
I have been able to create a workflow to create a folder in Automator, but not sure how to:
1. Have the folder created automatically each day at 12:01
2. How to have the folder label be the date
Thanks for any comments or certainly any other work-around or other way to do this or similar.
Regards, Steve

Open the AppleScript Editor. Copy the following into it:
set dt to date string of (current date)
set mth to word 2 of dt
set dy to word 3 of dt
set yr to word 4 of dt
set dtt to mth & " " & dy & " " & yr
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
Amend the path with your Hard Disk name and username. Save as an application to anywhere suitable.
In iCal, set up an event with a daily repeat and an alarm at the time you want it: under 'Alarm' choose 'Open file': then in the next menu which will appear change from 'iCal' to 'Other' and navigate to your script. Enter the date and time.
Your folder will be created as required: iCal does not need to be running. This script gives the folder name as, for example, 'November 22 2008', but it's easy to amend the script if you want something a bit different - for example:
property zro : ""
set yr to year of (current date) as string
set dy to day of (current date)
set mt to month of (current date)
set dyy to dy as string
set nmm to the number of items in dyy
if nmm is 1 then
set zro to 0
end if
if mt is January then
set mth to "01"
else if mt is February then
set mth to "02"
else if mt is March then
set mth to "03"
else if mt is April then
set mth to "04"
else if mt is May then
set mth to "05"
else if mt is June then
set mth to "06"
else if mt is July then
set mth to "07"
else if mt is August then
set mth to "08"
else if mt is September then
set mth to "09"
else if mt is October then
set mth to "10"
else if mt is November then
set mth to "11"
else if mt is December then
set mth to "12"
end if
set dtt to mth & "-" & zro & dy & "-" & yr as string
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "iBook HD:Users:roger:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
This gives the folder name as, for example, 11-22-2008. (The days will have leading zeros, if you don't want these just remove the references to 'zro'.)

Access Denied when Exporting, Creating new folder.

My normal workflow on some occasions is that I work on images then making a selection, I will export then to a folder on my desktop. I normally hit the Export and on the pop up I click on create new folder and export the images to the folder.
Since the new update, when I try to create a folder it gives me Access Denied. If I create the folder first, there is no problem.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you run the following commands with elevated privilege.
takeown /f {Folder Path}
cacls { Folder Path} /G administrators:F
Note: please replace {Folder Path} with the real folder path.
After that, please try to delete the folder again.
Does it work?

Apple Script won't create new folder

Hi all,
First of all, let me explain that in no particular way I am any good with applescript. I find it confusing at the best of times. I've got a bit of code that will check to see if a new folder is created in a specific location. If a new folder is created, then it will copy the name of the folder and create a new folder with the same name in a different place. The reason for this is that I separate my file types (I'm a photographer) and I keep my RAW files in one folder, my PSD files in another, my JPEGs in another and so on. The current code I have worked up until I installed Yosemite as well as Server on my mac mini. Here's the code:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
     set p to POSIX file "/Volumes/Projects/1. Raw"
     try
          tell application "Finder"
               repeat with item_ in added_items
                    if kind of item_ is "Folder" then --if its a folder then make another in Ra
                         make new folder at p with properties {name:item_}
                    end if
               end repeat
          end tell
     on error
          display dialog "Error occurred"
          return
     end try
end adding folder items to
The action is set to the JPEG folder, where an application automatically adds a folder (for this example, I'll use "z. test").
z. Test is detected in the JPEG folder, and then the folder is replicated across to the other separating folders ready for when any new files are added. Trouble is, the error occurred dialog box shows up. I have the appropriate permissions for the hard drives that the folders reside on, and are replicated to the subfolders too.
Is there anyway of finding out what the error is that's occurring? Or am I missing something since upgrading to Yosemite/Server? Any help would be most appreciated!

Hi,
You can't rename an item with an object (the item_ is an object of type alias), use the name of item_
To know the error, use the parameter in on error block.
Try this :
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    try
        set p to "/Volumes/Projects/1. Raw" as POSIX file as alias
        tell application "Finder"
            repeat with item_ in added_items
                if kind of item_ is "Folder" then --if its a folder then make another in Ra
                    set tName to name of item_
                    make new folder at p with properties {name:tName}
                end if
            end repeat
        end tell
    on error err
        activate
        display dialog "Error occurred : " & err
    end try
end adding folder items to
