Supported Actions
When you create a basket (an icon floating above your desktop). you assign one or more Actions to the basket. When you drop one or more files on such a basket, File Viking will "run" all the actions you have configured for that basket.
Below is a list of all Actions currently supported by File Viking. We plan to add a lot more Actions in future releases of File Viking. Contact us if you have a great idea!
- Copy Files
- Move Files
- Delete Files
- Email Files
- Zip Files
- Uncompress Files
- Run Application
- Upload Files

Supported Filters
Using Filters you can limit the types of files your actions run on. For example to prevent emailing ZIP files, you configure the WildCard filter and exclude *.zip.
For more info, see Filters.
{Tags} support
All actions support {tags}. These are special "placeholders" that are dynamically replaced by File Viking when it starts your configured actions.
For example, for the Copy Files action, instead of entering
C:\Temp\TargetDirectory
as the target folder for the copy operation, you may want to enter
C:\Temp\TargetDirectory\{yyyy}\{mm}\{dd}
and those {tags} will be replaced by values representing the current date. New directories are automatically created.
See Working with Tags for a complete list of supported {tags}.
