I have searched for other examples for this but nothing seems to quite fit.
I create a lot of PSD files in windows 10 and they are ALWAYS the same as the parent folder (except with .psd extension). At the moment i just copy paste but its a surprising amount of click/edit/copy/exit/click/edit....etc for such a simple repetitive thing.
Is there a way to make a script which would appear in the context menu when right click on the PSD file and rename it the same as the parent folder - while keeping the same extension?
It would only ever apply to a single file, and they are of different length per folder but always PSD files.
e.g.
parent folder:344323 red
file inside before:CADtemplate344.psd
file inside after:344323 red.psd
If it could be done what kind of programmer would i be looking for on sites like upwork/fiverr?
Thanks for any help.

I have a directory named project, and I navigated to Project > Add Folder to Project... in order to see the directory tree in my left sidebar. I noticed that doing this creates a file called index.sublime-project with the following content:
{
"folders":
[
{
"path": "."
}
]
}
I also noticed that there is another file in my directory called index.sublime-workspace, although this one does not appear in the tree view on the left sidebar of Sublime. It is only visible through windows explorer when I navigated to the Project directory.
What is the purpose of these files? Can I prevent them from being created every time I add folder to project?
Adding directories to the window using Project > Add Folder to Project is indeed one of the ways to open a folder (the others being to drag and drop a folder onto the window and File > Open Folder).
However, doing so do not create those files. To create them, you would need to use the Project > Save Project menu item. So you may have accidentally done that without realizing it. In theory a plugin could also create those files for you, though that seems unlikely (anything is possible though).
In any case, assuming you don't want them it's entirely safe to remove them.
A sublime-project file is a file that allows you to open folders in the side bar and then do things like apply settings that apply only to files in that window, alter what files and folders appear, and so on.
A sublime-workspace file is a localized session information for a particular window. Usually, they associated with a sublime-project file but they don't have to be. They store the state of the window, open files, etc so that you can close a window and then recall it later with the same state.
Here is my example, where I could have some input to filter directory subfolders.
The direct answer to the question is that this is not possible; the list of files and folders in the side bar is controlled by what folders you add and the settings that you include/exclude files and folders from within those folders. In theory you could try to modify the settings to change what appears in the side bar, but every time those settings change the file catalog needs to be rebuilt, which is something that can take some time (particularly in something with a large node_modules folder). It also causes all of the folders in the side bar to fold up.
The expected workflow is more designed around working with files than with working with groups of folders and that workflow centers around the Goto Anything panel. Choosing Goto > Goto Anything in the menu will open a panel showing you a list of every file that is currently contained in the side bar (except binary files).
The panel can filter text via fuzzy matching using as many search terms as you want (in any order you want) and will move the most likely matches closer to the top of the list. It also learns over time what files you pick when you use certain filters.
For your use case here you can open the panel and use a filter like node_modules or nmod/ to filter to files in the node_modules/ directory, acorn/ to see only files that exist in folders that match acorn, or a combination. You can also include fragments of filenames like lodash/ indjs to bring the index.js of the `lodash/ package to the top of the list.
The best way to get a feel for how this works is to play with it a little bit. Note also that the context menu in open files has a Reveal in side bar command that will focus the side bar on that file, which can be a handy way to see the other siblings of files you have open.
I am processing a big images dataset and I'm trying to reorder the files in classes, while at the same time keeping the original directory structure.
To do this, I make a second directory structure with symlinks to the files in the first one.
Everything works as it should but for one small detail: the symlinks created via os.symlink() do not show the image thumbnail, while if I make a link of the same file (e.g., via right click & send to Desktop) I do see the thumbnail.
I wanted to check how the two link files differ (note, the link files themselves, not the linked file), but if I try to drag the os.symlink-generated file in a text editor it opens the linked file instead (while this does not happen with the .lnk file generated via right-click).
What's the difference between the link files? Is os.symlink making something different than a .lnk file? If so, is there a way to get the thumbnail? And if there's no such way, how can I make a .lnk file instead?
since this is my first question here, I hope I do not distract you ;-)
I have wondered for a long time now wether there was an option in any
GTK setting that allows me (p.ex. in Nautilus) to select only the file's
or folder's name in an expanded tree view, NOT like this:

But more like this:

In the top picture you see that I wanted to get the context menu of
my home folder while I had the "Downloads" folder expanded, p.ex.
for opening a terminal.
If a (right-)click in the middle of nowhere would be taken as being directed at the current view's top level folder (in this example, my home folder), opening a terminal wouldn't be that of a problem.
Another example: Suppose I wanted to add a new file by selecting right click->New document->... (any template here). This is not possible in a folder
where I have to scroll down because it has so much content in it.
So summing it up:
There are context menu actions that "belong" to the empty screen space in a folder view below the listed files (at least in Nautilus) that I also want to be able to use in a folder which is so crowded that there is no more empty screen space. I know some, at least System 7 finder and Win (up to XP), file managers which are capable of this. Is it possible to system-wide set
the screen space next to the file name string to be equivalent to the empty screen space below a file listing?
Any ideas?
Best regards,

Just like Search result can feed the listbox (which opens new temporary tab),
is there a way to:
simply select files from one directory and feed the listbox?
select files from multiple directories and feed the same listbox?
Just to rename listbox's temporary tab and you could have favorite list of items over which you could perform more actions. This would increase productivity tremendously!
Regarding #1:
After you select the files activate:
Menu > Show > Only Selected Files
Regarding #2:
It's probably not what you were after, but you can use DiskDir / DiskDir Extended to add files (using a packer functionality, so you create an 'archive' file with extension .lst which contains a hierarchical list of the added files. You can then change source folder and then add more files. Later you just click on the .lst file and it looks no different then your normal file / folder list. Unfortunatelly you cannot rename the files, but you can launch them, with an extra confirmation.
UPDATE
Similar functionalitybut with 'source' renaming functionality limited to one file only (?): Virtual Panel, (File System Plugin, accessible through the Network Neighborhood 'drive'). It can launch files without a confirmation window. Rename 'source/target' file when you use it's own subbar (located here: %%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\WFX\VirtualPanel\EN\VirtualPanel.bar, make sure that you also have installed the AskParam addon and have paths in the VirtualPanel.bar right (both to AskParam.exe and VPBatch.exe). 'Regular' rename will change the file name only in the virtual panel.
