[Actual coding thread]A simple moving application

That's basically it. I'd rather it not allow for files that are non-png though.

Well, I believe for the file portion of the selected directory, you can type *.png* and it will select all files in that directory that have .png in their name. So if you're just dumping a folder of photos to another, that would do it. Otherwise I don't know much more in-depth for batch files.

What im trying to do:
have a .png file from any directory replace this file:

I want it to have the same name though.
Thats the directory on windows basically.
Its for changing the sprites just so you know.

Get info on the properties of that file
copy the path and take note of the filename
make a .bat windows batch file to rename the file you drag onto it as a string containing that path and filename according to:

Code: Select all

move /-y "Directory\file" "New_Directory"

pause

The -y prompts an error if there is a duplicate file, use /y if you're over writing files.

Since you are looking to move files in Windows, why not just create a bat file that moves them?

.bat files in Windows, Terminal or Applescript in OSX
