A copy where you need it

Deliver the files without moving your work.

Prepare a handover or collect project material in another folder while keeping the source collection exactly where you use it.

Keep a destination close at hand

Give an export, handover, or collection folder its own menu Action so you can send copies there quickly.

Choose when the job changes

Ask for a destination at run time or pick from locations recently used through MenuSmith. Smart labels make matching folder names easy to tell apart, or you can show full paths for every recent destination.

Keep both when names match

Copies receive distinct names if needed. Existing destination files are not replaced, and your source items remain in place.

A shortcut for every regular handover.

Create dedicated Actions for frequent destinations and keep a flexible version for everything else. Use a completion sound if it helps you follow a batch. Keep recent folder labels short with Smart, or choose Full Path to see every destination’s complete path.

  • Originals stay in place
  • Saved, chosen, or recent destinations
  • Existing destination files stay intact
  • Smart folder labels or full paths

Good to know

Recent destinations are those used in MenuSmith. Items already in the destination are skipped.

Smart uses only the destinations currently shown: Projects — Work and Projects — Personal stay distinct without long paths. Deeper matches expand only as far as needed, including the volume name when necessary.

Full paths use ~ for your home folder, preserve external-volume paths such as /Volumes/Samsung T7/Projects, and support other locations such as /tmp/Projects. Display preferences are saved separately for each Action and do not change its destination or access.

Keep your working copy where it belongs.

Copy files to another folder directly from Finder.
