[XBMC] Action to move file to a specified folder, possible?

Post by Snowball »

Hi there,

I'm using EventGhost with XBMC.
I'd like to know if it is possible to create an action (that I will link to a button on my remote) in order to move the selected file to a specified folder.

Let's make an example.
I have a list of 100 files and I don't want to delete them one after the other.
I simply go on file 1 and press a button on remote.
The button is linked to a Eventghost Action that take that file and move it to folder ABCD.
When I'm done I have all the files I want to delete in the same folder and I can delete them in just one click.


I hope it is clear enough :)
Thanks!

If you want to do this while you have a file selected in a filelist in XBMC, I don't think it's possible to get the filename to EventGhost so it can be moved.
If you want to do this while viewing a video it would be possible using JSON-RPC.

I think you need a Python script that will do the moving and run it with RunScrip() from a button in XBMCs keymap. Then you would be able to assign it in EventGhost.

I might be able to help you with this, but it will probably take a while, so I think you should ask in the XBMC forum and hopefully get faster help.
