Can I place in my renaming method list a way to batch move files in a folder up one folder. Ex. M:\Andre\Photo\Temp To M:\Andre\Photo. This would be the last method after the filenames have been changed. So far, I've only seen one way to move the files. After changing batch mode to Move, specific the exact location to move the files to, to any clicks need. Having a way to move up 1 folder automatically, no matter where the files are, would be great.

Sometime ago I had the same question, because at the moment I juggle between Advanced Renamer, Bulk Rename Utility and Robobasket. And I prefer rather one tool to rule them all and that being Advanced Renamer.

That said, I didnt find a way to have 'parametric' move methods.
Would be cool if AR could have a methode to change 'path', besides file/foldernames.
Preferably starting from a 'root-folder', the method would start from. Otherwise a simple mistake could create havoc all over my harddisk.

Anyway, untill then I can recommend Robobasket:
AR methods are called rules over there and have all kind of moving actions.

Robobasket isnt keen on RegEx tho, hence my use of AR also.

Simple! Just add a Script method with the code:

item.newPath = item.path.replace(/[^\\]*\\$/,'');
