Ingest to multiple folders based on type
« on: November 14, 2016, 01:22:17 PM »
I would like to be able to ingest in ONE action to different destination folders based on file types. File types and destinations should be user editable with option to add another type as required.

I.e.:
  • RAW files ==>> Folder 1
  • JPG files ==>> Folder 2
  • MOV files ==>> Folder 3

All should also have a Tick Box to select "Do NOT ingest", so if I do not want to import MOV than they can be left out.

You can do folder request with the {mediatype} variable when naming your destination folder.  Combined with Code Replacement, you can name the folders whatever you like.

We will have to think about whether the second request will be implemented.
