Help. Move files from folder A to folder B automatically? - Tasker Tips & Tricks

I'm new to Tasker... And I'm sure this is doable but my attempts have not worked.
Basically I want to monitor folder A and when a file is saved there, automatically move it to folder B. No name change or permission changes... Simply move a newly created or downloaded file that appears in "folder a" into "folder b"
Can anyone assist me in doing this?

1º --> Specify an event to monitor the folder you want to move new files from (Event > File > Modified)
2º --> Then create a task with the action (File > Copy File); or shell command

Problem with application start menu links

On mmy 8925 Tilt, I did just what I did on my old 8525, but I am having error messages.
I went into Windows > Start Menu > Programs, and made some new folders to organize my shortcuts.
I now. randomly, get two specific program error messages that the .lnk file cannot be found, BUT, when I go to the Start Menu, click on the link, the two applications open and operate.
Any suggestion, other than move the link. Thanks
Are you using the Menu tool in the Settings-Home tab? For some reason when you assign a program to the Start menu, it moves the shortcut from the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder to the Windows/Start Menu folder. This then screws up any shortcuts you have setup (like in the appplication tab of the HTC home plugin).
I wonder if there is a registry setting to change this behavior? This did not happen on my 8525 w/ WM6.
No, that is not an issue. These are links that were listed under Programs, in the Start Menu, that I moved into subfolders that I created; like the folder "Utilities" has within it MemMaid, and SK Tools, etc.
I would create a new link for the two entries that 'short circuit' and replace the old (original) links, but I do not know how to do this!
Can anyone help me create new links??
Thanks
I am not quite sure exactly what you are trying to do, but here is what I do to create folders and shortcuts in my Start Menu\Programs folder.
With a File Explorer Navigate to Windows\Start Menu\Programs (or the directory you want to put the links in)
Click Menu, select New Folder, and type the desired name for the folder.
Next Navigate to the .EXE file for the program you want to make a shortcut to. (If it is a program you have added, it may be in either the \\Program Files, \\Windows, or \\Storage Card\Program Files folder)
Highlight the .EXE file and select Menu->Edit->Copy
Next Navigate back to the Folder you created in the Start Menu\Programs
Select Menu->Edit->Paste Shortcut (This will create a .lnk file that links back to the .EXE) You can rename the .lnk file whatever you like, and that is what will show up in the Programs Folder.

To the cooks who use WinRAR: new version is out

3.80 is out:
http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/pocketrar38b1.exe
New features:
1. Added support for ZIP archives containing Unicode file names
in UTF-8 format. When creating ZIP archive, WinRAR stores
names in Unicode only if they cannot be stored correctly using
the current single byte character set.
2. Added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted ZIP archives.
3. Improved Unicode support for RAR and ZIP archive names.
4. "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files" update modes
are now available in archiving dialog. They allow to specify
WinRAR behavior when updating already existing files in archive.
Unlike already available "Fresh existing files only" and
"Add and update files", these new modes ignore file date
and compare only file names.
Command line equivalents of these modes are:
a) switch -o enables "Ask before overwrite" archiving mode;
b) switch -o- enables "Skip existing files" archiving mode;
c) switch -o+ enables "Overwrite all" mode (default for archiving).
5. New "Add to context menu" option in "Profile parameters" dialog.
If this option is on, the profile name will be displayed in Explorer
context menus allowing to activate a profile from context menu.
6. New -cp switch allows to select a compression profile
in command line mode. It is supported only by GUI WinRAR.exe,
not by rar.exe.
7. New "Options" page of archiving dialog contains the group of
settings modifying the behavior of "Delete files after archiving"
option from "General" page:
a) Delete files. Delete files normally like in previous WinRAR
versions.
b) Move files to Recycle Bin. Deleted files are placed to
Recycle Bin.
Command line equivalent of this option is -dr switch.
c) Wipe files. Before deleting file data are overwritten by
zero bytes to prevent recovery of deleted files.
Command line equivalent of this option is -dw switch.
All these options have an effect only if "Delete files
after archiving" is on. You can enable any of these options
in the default compression profile to change the default
behavior of "Delete files after archiving".
8. WinRAR "Extraction path and options" dialog is now resizable.
You can use the mouse to drag its border to the desired size
and provide more space for folder tree pane. WinRAR will store
new dimensions of this dialog.
9. New "Update" SFX script command and "Update mode" group
of options in "Update" page of "Advanced SFX options" dialog.
These command and options allow to check time and implement
file time based updating;
10. SFX script "Shortcut" command and "Add shortcut..." command
in "Advanced SFX options" dialog now allow to specify
an icon file containing an icon associated with shortcut.
11. New "Wipe temporary files" option in "Settings/Security" dialog
provides more secure, though slower, way to delete temporary
WinRAR files.
12. WinRAR and RAR display the total progress bar when unpacking
a multivolume RAR archive if all volumes are present
in the same folder.
13. WinRAR and RAR automatically expand names of environment
variables in list files. For example, a list file can contain
lines like:
%windir%\*.exe
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop
This feature is available only in Windows RAR version.
14. Added support of TAR archives with non-zero "extra field" data.
15. Added support of TAR archives, which does not contain
the end of archive entry consisting of 512 zero bytes.
16. Improved Unicode support when dragging files from WinRAR window.
17. Shift+Tab key combination can be used in main WinRAR window to
switch the input focus between interface elements (files, comment,
tree, address) in reverse order. In previous versions Shift+Tab
used the same order as Tab.
18. Corrected a possible WinRAR crash when opening truncated
UDF ISO files.

How To: Keep your old Fascinate clock

Here's a "How to" using nothing but your phone and computer (or Mac):
1.) If you JUST want the clock, you'll need to download onto your Mac or PC either "missing.zip" or "iofthestorm.zip" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940456&page=6
2.) Extract the zip file, and open the folder: missing>system>app. Both of these zips have extras bundled into them, so locate Clockpackage.apk. Now, keep this window open.
3.) You'll need a file manager (I like Root Explorer) that allows you to see the "system" (you won't see "" around these files w/in your phone) file. Within in the "system" file, is the "app" file . You'll need to remove the previously bundled clock, but before you do you have to bypass the "system" file's r/o permission. For noobs, r/o = read only. r/w = read/write.
4.) I don't have the link, so click search from w/in the Android Market on your phone and type: mount /system. It'll be the first app that appears on the list. Mount /System is literally the name of the app, so the spacing, etc., is not a typo. Download and install.
5.) When finished with step # 4, fire up your new app, Mount /System, and click the button that says, "Mount r/w."
6.) Remove your old clock from the system/app folder. I first made a copy into my download folder just in case anything went wrong. Once the copy was in a place I could locate again, I went back to system/app folder and deleted the previously bundled clock.
7.) I plugged my phone via usb (settings/applications/development/USB debugging) into my computer. Locate the folder in step #2. Find the clock. Then, drag and drop onto your system/app file.
8.) You're done! Close Root Explorer, and you should see your old Samsung Clock in your app drawer on your phone.
Please note, I'm not a software developer nor am I a hacker. I know only about my device, a Samsung Fascinate, so please don't ask me how to use this mod for other devices. Those who would like to do so would be better off following some of the adb tutorials posted on these forums.

I tested but not worked
Try CM-13's file manager. Alternatively here is a advanced method to troubleshoot the problem, download a terminal emulator from play store and open it. Now, type su
Accept the root permissions. Now, type this code
cd /storage
ls
Now, there should be 3 Folders named emulated self and one more folder named with the combinations of word and letter like B5D4-8J5A(in my case) You need this folder as this is your sdcard.
Now, type first three letters of your folder with '*' using this code
cd B5D*
touch txtfile.txt
Now, open your File explorer and go to sdcard. You should see a file named txtfilet.txt.
If this works, then there is no problem in writing files to sdcard.
However, you should give me the output of permission column using this command ls -l
Permissions would be like drwrw-x-rw something like that.
