Hi!I have a folder named Photos and all other folders for the events that I took pictures like "My Birthday", "Office" and etc. Now I want to move all these events into folders like an index. For these I will create folders name A,B,...,Z and then move all these folders in to the folders according to their initals. Is this possible with RoboTask ? Thanks

Yes, of course. See this example.
This task collects folders from c:\incoming folder and rename them to c:\dest\index\<First_Letter> folder

Only one restriction: source and destination folders must be on the same logical drive.
If you want to move it move to another drive you may do "synchronize folders" action and, next, remove the source folder.

Also you have to download basic plugin for this task.

Great! I didin't know about that plugin so I couldn't find a way to get the initials of the folder names. Are there any real good plugins that I should learn about ? Thanks ...
