Sort resolution slices per folder

[luispedrofonseca]

Hi guys,

 

with my current pipeline I'd like to be able to on exporting my slices (1x, 2x, 3x) a folder action would kick in and sort all my exported files to their respective folders.

 

Do you know any "easy" way to do this? I've been giving it a go with AppleScript but it's a pain to work with.

 

Cheers!

For anyone interested in the same thing (or similar) I ended up doing it as a shell script and it worked pretty great.

 

You can always do an Automator Service so you can trigger it with a right-click on the folder.

 

I'm sure there are easier/shorter ways to do it but this is working fine. :)

#!/bin/bash
# Creates folders to sort files exported by Affinity Designer
mkdir -p images
mkdir -p images/2x
mkdir -p images/3x

for file in ./*2x.png
do
	if [ -f "$file" ]
	then
		newName=$(basename ${file/@2x})
		mv $file images/2x/$newName
	fi
done

for file in ./*3x.png
do
	if [ -f "$file" ]
	then
  		newName=$(basename ${file/@3x})
  		mv $file images/3x/$newName
	fi
done

for file in ./*.png
do
	if [ -f "$file" ]
	then
  		mv $file images
	fi
done

Here's the service file just in case.

We'll improve slice export soon to include a little more control.
