Add Folder [RvTools]:
The Add Folder [RvTools] node is designed to streamline the process of creating new directories within a specified file path. This node is particularly useful for organizing projects by allowing you to dynamically add subfolders to existing directories, enhancing file management and project structuring. By automating the folder creation process, it reduces manual effort and minimizes the risk of errors associated with manual directory creation. This node is essential for users who need to maintain a well-organized file system, especially in environments where project files are frequently updated or expanded.
Add Folder [RvTools] Input Parameters:
path
The path parameter is a string input that specifies the directory path where the new folder will be created. It is a required field, meaning you must provide a valid directory path for the node to function correctly. This parameter is crucial as it determines the location within your file system where the new subfolder will be added. There are no default values for this parameter, and it must be explicitly defined by the user.
folder_name
The folder_name parameter is a string input that defines the name of the new folder to be created within the specified path. It is also a required field, and while it does not support multiline input, it defaults to "SubFolder" if no other name is provided. This parameter allows you to customize the name of the new directory, ensuring that it aligns with your project naming conventions or organizational needs.
Add Folder [RvTools] Output Parameters:
string

This output is important as it confirms the successful creation of the directory and provides the exact location of the new folder within your file system. This information can be used for further file operations or as a reference in subsequent processes.
