This is a simple AppleScript for the Finder which moves the currently selected items into a newly-created folder, and puts the new folder into rename mode. I use this to quickly sort my files into properly-named folders.
After saving the script, you'll want to use a keyboard shortcut tool (I use Spark) to run this script via the keyboard -- I've set the key combo for this one to Command-G.

If you run this from Script Editor, you will not get the result you are after.
Move selected items into ready-to-rename folder
From Script Editor i saved it as an app and gave it a hotkey in MaxMenus. Don't see how that is different from using Spark.
Move selected items into ready-to-rename folder
I am not sure what your point is?, No one TOLD you to use spark, use what ever you want? so long as it allows you to make your hotkeys

Wel my point is that you said not to run it from Script Editor. You said, "You need to use as a app like Spark." I said I did. Auto rename state no workie.

Please re read my post.
"If you run this from Script Editor, you will not get the result you are after"
And I suggest you also re read you first post.
It is only in your last post where you first mention your attempt to use Spark.
It works for me in Spark with no problems. ---
Move selected items into ready-to-rename folder
I never said I used Spark. I never said I ran it in Script Editor. As this has deteriorated I'll now say I am done with chiming in here. I *will* keep on.
