Create folder in selected folder with OS X Automator

Question

I am trying to batch convert a bunch of raw image files on OS X. I would like to use built-in software since it is possible.

First I would like to

• let the user select the input folder containing the raw files;
• create a new folder jpgs inside of that folder;
• copy the raw files from the user selected folder into jpgs.

This is the workflow I have implemented so far in order to implement the first two steps.

First I let the user select a folder and store it into the variable NEF Folder. The I create a new folder named jpgs in the folder chosen by the user (NEF Folder).

BUT this is what the workflow does after selecting folder AAA on the Desktop:

Why?

Answer 1

Understood.

The action New folder creates a folder and copies its input inside of the newly created folder.

Answer 2

I have the same issue and solved it checking the box "Ignore this action's input".
