Move files
On OS X, umx_move_file can access the current front-most Finder window.
The file moves are fast and, because you can use regular expressions, powerful.
umx_move_file( baseFolder = NA, regex = NULL, fileNameList = NA, destFolder = NA, test = TRUE, overwrite = FALSE )
baseFolder |
The folder to search in. If set to "Finder" (and you are on OS X) it will use the current front-most Finder window. If it is blank, a choose folder dialog will be thrown. |
regex |
string to select files to process within the selected folder. |
fileNameList |
List of files to move. |
destFolder |
Folder to move files to. |
test |
Boolean determining whether to change the names, or just report a dry run. |
overwrite |
Boolean determining whether to overwrite files or not (default = FALSE (safe)). |
None
