Greetings my friend.

I have a problem, I can't figure out how I should set up my stream correctly?

I want to take a jpg file and copy it to the first folder,
then take another jpg file and copy it to the next folder,
and so on.

Can I copy:

Folder.GetSubfolders Folder: $'''C:\\Users\\Windows_10\\Desktop\\сортированные для XN''' FolderFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Subfolders=> Folders_12
Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''C:\\Users\\Windows_10\\Desktop\\картины для описания — копия''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.FullName SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> Files
LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem_Folders_12 IN Folders_12
 LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN Files
 File.Copy Files: CurrentItem Destination: CurrentItem_Folders_12 IfFileExists: File.IfExists.DoNothing CopiedFiles=> CopiedFiles
 EXIT LOOP
 END
END

Please show me how correctly I should do it?

Hi @absentia8

Try this design. I hope this would helps !

Folder.GetSubfolders Folder: $'''C:\\Users\\Windows_10\\Desktop\\сортированные для XN''' FolderFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Subfolders=> Folders_12 Folder.GetFiles Folder: $'''C:\\Users\\Windows_10\\Desktop\\картины для описания — копия''' FileFilter: $'''*''' IncludeSubfolders: False FailOnAccessDenied: True SortBy1: Folder.SortBy.FullName SortDescending1: False SortBy2: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending2: False SortBy3: Folder.SortBy.NoSort SortDescending3: False Files=> Files LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem_Folders_12 IN Folders_12 END SET folderindex TO 0 LOOP FOREACH CurrentItem IN Files IF folderindex = (Folders_12.Count - 1) THEN SET folderindex TO 0 ELSE Variables.IncreaseVariable Value: folderindex IncrementValue: 1 END File.Copy Files: CurrentItem Destination: Folders_12[folderindex] IfFileExists: File.IfExists.DoNothing CopiedFiles=> CopiedFiles END

Flow

This flow reset the index to zero when it has reached the maximum count of folder, and it will try to move images to first folder , second again.

Hope this helps !

Hi @absentia8

I think I have missed one point

Place the copy file action before if condition in the loop

Hope it helps !
