How to rename a file using its parent folder name
How to rename a file using its parent folder name
Q: When working with Limagito, we were wondering if you had recommendations on how to handle this scenario.
We would like to transfer files from a directory lets call it E:\Orignal Location. I have two folders and files under this directory below.
Under E:\Orignal Location\UNIT_1_4.1.2025\history.xml
Under E:\Orignal Location\UNIT_2_5.1.2025\history.xml
We would like to rename the history.xml to the parent folder name, highlighted above, while moving it to final file location E:\Final Location
The file result we are looking for is for two files in the location E:\Final Location:
UNIT_1_4.1.2025.xml
UNIT_2_5.1.2025.xml
How would you recommend configuring, or is it possible to configure the renaming since the value we want to rename is the parent name, while also moving the file to a new location with Limagito.
A: We did a test with pdf files instead of xml, but the result would be the same.
In your case,  E:\Orignal Location\ would be the WIN Source
Our Directory Filter setup:
Destination Setup:
Please uncheck ‘Create Subdir’ because all files should go to the same folder:
Enable ‘Rename Files during Copy/Move’
– Add the following file renaming setup:
RegEx:  (.*)\.(.*)
Replacement:  %SFS.\2
– Alternative file renaming setup when you have multiple levels of subfolders:
%SFS:?=?: parameter option was added recently
%SFS:0=1:
0 > start at the end of the subfolders(s) Var %SFS > %SFS = Source File Subfolder(s)
1 > use the last subfolder part only
RegEx:  (.*)\.(.*)
Replacement:  %SFS:0=1:.\2
– RunTime Log result:

Removing old rules that are no longer in use
Q: A number of the rules are disabled. We will work on removing old rules that are no longer in use and get the number closer to 400. Is there a way to sort or filter by enabled/disabled rules?
A: In Limagito File Mover version v2025.6.30 we added the following options:
Hide Enabled Rules
Will remove all Enabled Rules from the Rule Treeview
Hide Disabled Rules
Will remove all Disabled Rules from the Rule Treeview
With the Refresh Rules you can go back to the original state.

If you need any help with this ‘no longer in use’ question, please let us know.
