ThanksYou can do it all in Ruby, inside Sketchup.
Select a file in a directory and iterate through all of files that directory and if they match the file-type then move them into another sub-directory, e.g. abc.jpg into sub-folder 'jpgs' ?This script does it: type 'movefiles2subfolderbytype' into the Ruby Console and choose folder/file(type). Note it needs both of these zipped files (movefiles2subfolderbytype.rb + ftools.rb) extracting into the Plugins folder, because the base Ruby File methods are lacking in 'move', copy' etc...
It'd also be easy to add a menu item for it if you want...
movefiles2subfolderbytype.zip -

Thanks to both of you for your time
