Dear All,

from a huge list of pictures, I'd like to sort pics ending with 'e' (manually modified) and move them into a 'sink' folder and only move/rename all other pics.

Example:
123456.jpg -> move/rename
123456e.jpg -> sink

Could someone help me building the condition on the ending 'e' and then moving these files into a dedicated folder?

Thanks a lot in advance, Benoit.

Can't you search for the "e" pictures in windows explorer, with the mask *e.*, move these files to the sink folder, then import the rest into AR and move/rename them? Am I missing something here?

No, you're right, it's possible indeed.
I was wondering if it was possible in AR, just to do all in once.
So, is it possible in AR or not?

Well, hum, yeah, it is possible, but would still be two steps, I think. Probably be easier the other way I explained tho.

1-Import all your files in AR
2-Select the Mark->Mark None option with right click on the list of files
2-Use the Mark->Mark by pattern with right click on the list of files
3-Enter *e.*
4-Put AR batch in Move mode
5-Select your "sink" output folder
6-Start Batch
7-Select all the remaining with Mark->Mark all
8-Do your other move/rename steps

hope it is what you were looking for

cheers
