Ive done a quick search and found nothing. Anyone out there in mac land know of a way to go in a folder and make a folder for each file, name it the file name - the .ext, then move the said file into the new created folder. And do it numerous times until completed with the folder.

so pretty much this but something terminal would understand...sorry new to macs.


@echo on
for %%a in (*.*) do (
md "%%~na" 2>nul
move "%%a" "%%~na"
)

you do have bash at the command-line so you should be able to make a bash script to do this.

@echo on
