If you really don't want any repetition we could sophisticate a bit this so simple macro... πŸ˜‰πŸ˜
Nope. I'm good! Lol!
Unless it's really simple (for me!)

30 was the number of files in my "testdelete" folder on my device that I then changed the macro to look at my sd card folder with 16,000 files.
Does that update on its own?

Glad if you're good! πŸ˜€πŸ˜

If you modify both Script shell and Open file actions the macro will work the same way as now but... 16000 files is definitely to much ☹️

I think I could narrow that down by a lot.

If I don't want any repetition at all, is there any way I could send you this macro and you configure it to not show repeat files and send it back?

Is that asking too much?

Hello again.
Still seems to be having trouble.

MD helper seems to show "permission denied"
I wonder why that is and what to do about that?

I hope these screenshots help.

If not, then don't worry about it.
The original macro is working and I'm more than happy to just use that.
It does what I want. So it's all good!

You made the right diagnosis: permission was denied to copy files from .../blogNN to .../blog00.

You need ADB hack and I guess you didn't ADB hacked your device. If you're interested you'll find lots of posts on this forum about how to do that. It allows a lot of additional commands without rooting your device.

Sorry I forgot to advice you as it was working fine on my device... ☹️

Feel free to come back if you need some more help...

Good luck!
