i have some folders and files that i want to move/copy to a folder [user selection].
STEPS:-
1- select the folders and files
2- cut or copy OPTION
3- pause for user selection to select target folder [to paste]
4- paste in selected folder
is there a macro or script to help automate this.

Hi Tom,
i tried to create a code, but was unable to figure it out.
Am unable to figure out how to pause, to select the folder [in the code]
Could you please help me with the code.
I want to automate this process, so when i execute a gesture or start menu command;
i just select the files and point to the folder; and the rest is automated.

I still don't understand why do you need to further automate a simple copy/paste.
You can use a Sleep command to pause the script: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Sleep.htm
... and FileSelectFolder command to select the folder: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/command ... Folder.htm

thanx.
I know it is a simple task.
but when there are over 500 folders daily and daily sorting, this automation will help.
can u please advise how-to code/script [KeyWait] using SEND, and not COMMAND.

{1000} waits 1 second.
If you need the script to wait until any key is pressed you could use a Message Box macro, available in Professional Edition.
