Re 3+4. Thank you, I see why it would be designed that way. I just happened to have items marked as failed when I was working on the command. I shall just remember to open a clean session to avoid this.
Re 2. Sorry I wasn't very clear about the selection process here... I am attempting to perform an action on a /select*ed set of items from within a sub folder. These items can not be known prior to entering the folder as the folder is itself entered using /cd %p%f. So %f is already populated. I tried using a sub command to break things up and test the internal handing of %f and got the following results...
Command TEST
Code:
/echo -A
{
/cd %p%f
/echo -B
/select -f rx: .*\.tmp$
/echo -C
/delete selected
/echo -D
[SUBTEST]
/echo -E
}
/echo -F
/uncd
/echo -G
Command SUBTEST
Code:
/echo -D1
/select -f rx: .*\.log$
/echo -D2
/enqueue /ren "%p%f" "%pLogs/%f"
/echo -D3
Manually select folder TESTING2 and perform command TEST.

There are a few things to note in the results...
First of all I see that %f can in fact refer to a sub selection if outside of a command group already iterating %f. So %f is only static within its current command group {}. I had wondered about this hence the testing with a sub command.
Secondly the SUBTEST command is not performed until after everything in the TEST command, I am assuming this is not the intended behavior. As you can see from the second set of results it iterates over the command block for each manually selected %f when the command was launched, then continues to finish off the rest of TEST, then performs each iteration of the SUBTEST command.
I will continue to play around with the logic and ordering to see if I can get this to work, including maybe something like below, though I may just write it in C instead and load it as a raw command on the server. The latter is easy enough I just thought it would be more handy to have it with my client for better portability... and now that I have started the challenge to get it to work as expected has sucked me in lol.
Code:
{
[MARK ITEMS FOR DELE]
}
{
[SELECT MARKED ITEMS AND ENQUEUE /delete]
}
/markedclear
{
[MARK ITEMS FOR MOVE]
}
{
[SELECT MARKED ITEMS AND ENQUEUE /ren]
}
/markedclear
