| Adding Rules can be done from either the
context menu (recommended) or from
within QuickMove. |

From QuickMove... |
 |
| |
| Both will open the New Rule Wizard... |
| The first three options are as described in
Getting Started but the "Plain Text" and
"Regular Expression" (RegEx) are explained further below: |
| |
| This is the easiest of the two to understand since it uses a pattern match
most are familiar with as Windows Users and should satisfy most needs. |
| Tax* |
All files starting with "Tax" and of any extension. |
| Tax*.pdf |
All pdf files starting with "Tax". |
| Tax200?.* |
Tax2000 to 2009 would match. So, Tax2005 would match but not
Tax2015. |
| Tax?201?.* |
Tax 2010 to 2019 would match but note that there must be a space (?)
between "Tax" and the year. Tax2010 would not match. |
|
|
| These offer more complex but very flexible pattern matching options.
Examples can best be found by searching the internet for your exact
requirements. |
| |
| offers another level of matching where you can have the rule apply ONLY if
found in the source folder you currently clicked in or "Any Folder" if the
location of the file is unimportant and the rule should always apply. |
| |
move to a target folder of your choice (with optional
Sub-Folder Rules)
or if the target folder can change then choose "Show me my list of Favourite
Target Folders" to be prompted before a move happens with a
list of your previously
used target folders
or "Run this File" which offers complete flexibility for you to write your own
batch file of commands or even run an executable. Note that this option runs
outside the control of QuickMove and so cannot offer an Undo action as with the
other two options. |

 |
| Default – Files moved on the same volume (ie, drive in most
cases) will take their existing permissions with and not inherit from the target
folder. Files moved to different volumes (ie, to a different drive or network
folder) will inherit permissions from the target folder and lose any explicit
permissions they may have had. |
| |
| Force Inheritance on Local Volume Moves – Files moved on
the same volume (ie, drive in most cases) will lose any inherited permissions
from their source as well as explicit permissions they may have had and inherit
permissions from the target folder. Files moved to different volumes (ie, to a
different drive or network folder) will behave no differently to the default
setting. |
| |
| Note: When moving to different drives or network locations, permissions are
unaffected by these options and follow the rules of the Operating System. |
| |
| |
| Finally, give this rule a name to help you locate it should you need to edit
it. |
