Output folder destination path with variables

Post by fx.brault »

Hello,
I can't find a post that fits my need on the forum. I need to send jobs to different folders. I would like to be able to specify the destination path of these folders with variables. How do I do this?
Thanks
FX

Use the "Set hierarchy path" element, and define your folder hierarchy using Switch variables.
Then use the Archive hierarchy element and define (more than) enough subfolder levels.
Last week I presented our Switch monthly workshop, with this topic.
If you have an existing folder structure, and only have part of the name of your ouput folder, you can use the free Scan hierarchy app.

Thank you Laurent for this answer. I knew that the solution was with the "Hierachy" (as we had discussed when we met recently) but I could not put it in place. It's clearer now and it works. Thanks
