Find item and parent it to a specific folder
Hello again!
I´m trying to find some items in my project so they can be re organized in specific folders.
I have this:
function foundFootage(){
var i = 1; i <= app.project.items.length; i++;
if (app.project.item(i).name = "Comp 2"){
app.project.item(i).parentFolder = app.project.item(folderFound);
}
var folderFound = 1; folderFound <= app.project.items.length; folderFound++;
if (app.project.item(folderFound).name = "FOOTAGE"){
foundFootage();
}
}The idea is to find the folder and then call the function who search the item and parent it to this folder.
anyway, it’s not working so… can anybody help me?

Play around with this:
function main(){
function findFolder(theName){
for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){
if (app.project.item(i) instanceof FolderItem && app.project.item(i).name == theName){
return app.project.item(i);
}
}
return null;
}function findComp(theName){
for (var i = 1; i <= app.project.numItems; i++){
if (app.project.item(i) instanceof CompItem && app.project.item(i).name == theName){
return app.project.item(i);
}
}
return null;
}var myFolder = findFolder("FOOTAGE");
if (myFolder == null){
alert("Can't find folder 'FOOTAGE'");
return;
}
var myComp = findComp("Comp 2");
if (myComp == null){
alert("Can't find comp 'Comp 2'");
return;
}
myComp.parentFolder = myFolder;
}
main();
