A folder with MM.DD.YYYY Once I have created a folder, I want to move the image based on the meta data into the appropriate folder. Eg. An Image taken on 01.01.2023 is moved into the folder 01.01.2023, and an image taken on 01.02.2023 is moved into a folder on 01.02.2023 etc. I have managed to work out the creating the folder, but struggling on the condition of moving the image into the correct folder. Do you have any tutorials which have something similar I could look at?

Thank you. Great information shared. there is one suggestion if I may. can you make the areas you are describing bigger, this way we can see your actions better. as it is now it is easy to lose interest because your screen and fonts are so small. Thank you again for the awesome content. :)

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Mostafa. For sure. Since it's not the first time, I hear this, I really should fix it 😊 Don't hesitate to give me further feedback - I really want to improve in any way. Kind regards, Anders

I wear glasses for this as it is a problem throughout KZbin. Hundreds of videos all too small to see with the naked eye.

Hi, I am looking to automate reporting to our charity funders: fill in forms (web), upload content (from Windows desktop to web). Been looking for "recording" that addresses this scenario. Only found triggers that are web based only or form filling only. So will search your channel. Thanks for this video. ,👍👌✌️😊

Hi Anders, Do you run a workshop or live, I have a few questions 1. How to create modeless dialog (Where the message box displays for say 5 seconds configurable) and close automatically. 2. What is the difference between power automate and power automate desktop, can I call the power automate flow from power automate desktop?

[@andersjensenorg]

Hey Granand. Thanks for the question and sorry for the late reply. At the moment, I’m on paternity leave, meaning I don’t produce videos and solve problems until the 23rd of August. Feel free to post the problem at my Discord, where many bright automation minds are gathered: kzbin.info/door/Pdtz4gd_iYebJFYq9N8pWAcommunity?lb=UgxD1Qe9lWKL1I7HyAJ4AaABCQ Kind regards, Anders

Hi Anders do you know the restrictions for the free part of this?, thanks for the video.

Hey Wakko. Not sure 😬 I think you can do all you want with Power Automate, except the premium functions. The PAD is a 30 day trial only. Thank you 😊 Kind regards, Anders

Thanks Andres, this is a wonderful video. I have a question about file in a folder. How i can build with the desktop version a trigger like when a specific file are modified, send me an email. It's look like pretty easy with a cloud flow (trigger from onedrive, sharepoint ...) but from the desktop version ... thanks!

Hello, Just wondering if this automation would work between Windows Servers? and would it support timed execution of the task, such as moving of the folder? does it also move the associated permissions with the folder? Thank you

Thanks for the video, but here i want to ask what if we have unique file name with changing date and time (i.e. testdoc202405041746.txt). With PowerShell we are able to copy such file after putting testdoc*.txt, but how can we copy this from on premises file server to SharePoint. Appreciated if you can help on this. This flow i want to create for cloud flow using on premises data gateway service

Hey I liked your videos, very helpful, I wanted to see if you can help me with something. I need to be able to loop through a folder with several files with a specific file extension, extract the files name and use it in a command line command and move on to the next file until all files have been processed. Any ideas?
