Automator folder action to copy file to a folder in a list of folders

Hi,


I feel like this is possible, but I don't have any experience with Automator.


I'd like to create a folder action. What I want to happen is the following:


  • Drag a file into a folder
  • Add specific spotlight comments to the file
  • Rename the file with the date
  • Copy the file to another folder - here is where I get hung up, because I don't want it to always copy to the same folder. I would like a dialogue box of possible folders it would go to. These possible folders all exist within the same folder. Hopefully that makes the process easier


Any thoughts?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
