Whats the easiest way to pass the file name and path to a program?- file changes, move file to someplace else so it wont trigger again.pass that path to a program or batch for processing.as in-path1/pic.jpgmove(or rename) to path2/pic.jpgjpegoptim path2/pic.jpgetc.having it all happen in the GUI would be best.passing arguments to a batch would also work.I just hadn't been able to figure out how to do it with robotask.

You can easily determine the name of file in the File loop (for example)
Next, you need to move file to another folder.

Your task will looks so:

File loop //and save current file name to C_FileName variable (for example)
   move {c_FileName} to c:\path2
end loop


If you need to know new full file name do concatenation the ne path and original file name.
There is {ExtractFileName()} variable in order to extract file name fron full path of the file.

Just use
c:\path2\{ExtractFileName({c_FileName})}

Also see other system variables: menu Options | Variables

Thus your task will be such:

File loop //and save current file name to C_FileName variable (for example)
   move {c_FileName} to c:\path2
   run program jpegoptim c:\path2\{ExtractFileName({c_FileName})}
end loop
