Hi to everybody!

Im using a script that takes a .ai document and save it in 4 different folders that i have.
I want to make them and also subfolders with an script, but io have no idea to do it. Can somebody share some code to make it?

Example:

Original folder:

1.ai

2.ai

1 /subfolder 1/ subsubfolder1/1.pdf

1 /subfolder 1/ subsubfolder2/1.png

1 /subfolder 2/ subsubfolder1/1.jpeg

1 /subfolder 2/ subsubfolder2/1.ai

2 /subfolder 1/ subsubfolder1/2.pdf

2 /subfolder 1/ subsubfolder2/2.png

2 /subfolder 2/ subsubfolder2/2.ai

If somebody can help me i will apreciate it a lot!!

Here is how you make folders using a pre-supplied array of names you wish:

var startFolder = Folder("~/Desktop");
var foldersToMake = ["first folder", "second folder", "third folder"];
var thisNewFolder, thisNewFolderName;
for(var i=0; i<foldersToMake.length; i++){
  thisNewFolderName = foldersToMake[i];
  // automatically converts from Folder object to string using toString() method automatically
  thisNewFolder = Folder(startFolder + "/" + thisNewFolderName);
  // not sure if this is necessary, but probably good to check it it already exists.
  if (!(thisNewFolder.exists)) {
    thisNewFolder.create();
  }
}

Thank you again Silly,

Im trying to make a folder with the name of an .ai that is open. How can i take this name? I tryied like this, but only creates your 3 folders.

var startFolder = Folder("~/Desktop/work");
var Name = targetDoc.name;
var folder = new Folder ("~/Desktop/work" + Name);
var foldersToMake = ["first folder", "second folder", "third folder"];
var thisNewFolder, thisNewFolderName;
for(var i=0; i<foldersToMake.length; i++){
thisNewFolderName = foldersToMake[i];
// automatically converts from Folder object to string using toString() method automatically
thisNewFolder = Folder(startFolder + "/" + thisNewFolderName);
// not sure if this is necessary, but probably good to check it it already exists.
if (!(thisNewFolder.exists)) {
thisNewFolder.create();
}
}

Thank you again!

You can get the name of the current document with app.activeDocument.name , put that into a variable and also make sure your 4 different folder names are in an array that can be looped with the code such as in my example. Store the whole path in this array like so:

var ImportantFolders = [

  "C:/path start/path/My Folder1",

  "C:/path start/path/My Folder2",

  "C:/path start/path/My Folder3",

  "C:/path start/path/My Folder4"

]

When you loop through them to create your folders, make a variable inside the loop which makes the a new folder object with the path from your array concatenated with the current file name.

Also it may be a good idea to take out the file extension from the document name.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var thisFolder;
var docNameWithoutExtension;
for(var i = 0; i < ImportantFolders.length; i++){
  docNameWithoutExtension = doc.name.replace(/\..+$/, "");
  thisFolder = Folder(ImportantFolders[i] + "/" + docNameWithoutExtension);
  thisFolder.create();
}

Thank you very much Silly-V, you helped me a lot here and in another places in this comunity. THANK YOU.

I have one question about how Illustrator uses the characteristics of the computer, i dont know i have the "bottle neck" (is correct this in english?). 
I have the lastest iMac and when i use some action like copy and paste a lot of vectors (move around 15GB), Ilustrator dont use the 40GB of Ram (only around 20), only use 1 thread and the graphic is not always al 100%. Do you know whats the most important part of the computer for Illustrator?

THANK YOU AGAIN!!
