Hi jv16,
I have two requests to make concerning this tool. Maybe the below suggestions can be made to fit in with the File Organizer tool as that would make sense, too! :
1. Automation of finding and performing a task. For instance, I want to copy *.mp3 files from folder A to folder B.
2. An option to search only the specified directory, and not every folder/directory within it.

It might help to mention that I am a newbie to this area of the jv16 PowerTool, and my little story below may help to make it more newb-friendly... so here is the newb story :
I bought the jv16 mainly for the Registry Cleaner, Software Uninstaller, and Startup Manager. I wanted to do more with jv16 now that I bought a license for it. I looked into my C:\User\Blah directory and saw a lot of saved junk.
Oh, look! jv16 has a File Organizer tool -- perfect! Let's check it out... Hmm, how can I organize by file type? *.mp3 wildcard doesn't work! *grumble grumble*
/posts on forum asking why it doesn't organize in that fashion... gets reply that File Finder can do that. Great!
I enter the *.mp3 wildcard and it finds the mp3's in C:\User\Blah and every folder within every other folder within this folder :. Thanks jv16, but you're overachieving here. I just want this directory searched. *checks option tab but no luck*
Ok, well I suppose I can live with that. It'll always be the first group in the huge results list. *Places a checkmark carefully on the eight results from the specified directory* Move to "C:\User\Blah\Music" ... Hooray!
/thinks this is too many steps just to move certain files around and a potentially useful feature that would better shine in the File Organizer tool... because, well, that's what I assumed it was capable of doing :
Oh, wait! This wouldn't be so bad if I can automate it! *Opens Automation Tool* Bah, I guess I was relying on the powertool a bit too much. Would be very helpful for it to automate it!
I think my suggestion can work better in File Organizer because that's what it's doing... mockup screenshots:
