Create New Folder
This utility lets you create one or more folders in the selected folder. You can create multi-level folders or even to specify variables.
This utility is displayed only if you select a folder.
Multi-level folders
You can include the backslash character ("\") or the slash character ("/") to create multi-level folders.
For example, if you specify "subfolder1\subfolder2\subfolder3", then a new folder will be created named "subfolder1", into this folder a new folder will be created named "subfolder2" and into this folder a new folder will be created named "subfolder3". So the resulting folder structure will be the following:
subfolder1
|
|- subfolder2
|
|- subfolder3

Create multiple folders
If you check the "Create multiple folders" option then you can create more than 1 folder in the selected folder. Type the number of folders in the text box on right side to this option.
If you specify the %SEQ% variable, then this variable will be replaced by a sequence number starting in 1, but if this variable is not present, then the suffix " (N)" will be added to each new folder.
Examples:
- the folder string is "folder_%SEQ%" and the number of folders text box is 3, then 3 folders will be created with the following names: "folder_1", "folder_2", "folder_3".
- the folder string is "my folder" and the number of folders text box is 2, then 2 folders will be created with the following names: "my folder (1)", "my folder (2)"
