You think you could give me a hand with that this weekend? Like I said I’m a bit rusty with CMD prompts and activating “cd” on a network drive isn’t as easy as I thought it would be.

Hi there,

Are you a Patreon subscriber? Do you have access to the Discord server?

The_Darkseid3 years ago

No to both. I see a lot of people interact with Discord but I’ve never actually used it. I honestly don’t know how it works.

Hi again! Thanks for the kind reply. If you haven't already read it, I suggest taking a look at the pinned user guide in order to get a better understanding on how to use the application. I don't normally give straight up CMD tutorials on the forums anymore, but if you feel you still need direct assistance, I would invite you to join us on Patreon (Discord) where I am better able to provide you with personalized help.

Thank you, this helped MASSIVELY, although i still have not figured out how to run this from a NAS. Tried to google a solution and attempted

pushd %~dp0

With or without it, it still comes back with the error "[FAIL] The directory does not exist of could not be accessed". any ideas?

It likely cannot rename files/folders on a network share because they are not the same as a physical file. This is especially true when your talking about file locking/sharing. I suggest you just run this against a real physical file location and then share the result after your done organizing it.

ok, I think I got it. I appreciate it.
