File management/copying utility

Coding

Hi everyone, we’re building a pipeline from the ground up, but I need a couple of interim tools and I’m hoping there’s something out there to help us with file management. We get elements from our clients in any number of ways - there’s no rhyme or reason to their deliveries - but they need to be filed in the correct shot folder. What I’m hoping to find is a matrix tool that makes it easy. Something where we can tick off boxes that help us move the files, like this (for some reason I had to replace spaces with periods):

SHOW: PROJ
SHOT: abc1234
ingest item…|.plates.|.notes.|.quicktimes.|.proxies

abc1234_proxies.####.jpg…x
abc1234_notes.txt…x
abc1234_plates.####.dpx…x
abc1234_qt.mov…x

I can do the programming/scripting to hook it up, but I’m hoping to not have to build something from scratch before we finish building a more elegant tool.

Thanks in advance!

Not that I know of. This stuff is usually specific and simple enough to build in house (correct me if I’m wrong but the brunt of it is a table control?).

Yeah, I’m just so busy building the rest of the system that I was hoping for an interim shortcut…
