How to copy all files from subfolders into one folder?
How to copy all files from subfolders into one folder?
Is it possible to copy all files from subfolders into ONE folder. I commonly copy photos from a memory card. The camera automatically creates folder with 100 pictures in each folder. I want to copy all these into a 'photos' folder on my hard drive. I can do it by doing a search for *.jpg and then copy the search results, but am wondering if there is a more elegant way, that also allows to me to use 'Move' instead of cut or copy + paste.

That's exactly the way I do it right now. Works good enough for meAnonymous wrote:[...]I can do it by doing a search for *.jpg and then copy the search results

When I copy from memory card I use copy. When I use move and I have some problem like bad battery or power ... I can lost data.
The same way I use on floppy disc
I mean this is no problem in SW. When You moving data then after moving each file SW must write on medium ! and this may be problem.
What You mean on this problem ?

This is an example where a "branch" (or "flat" or "recursive") view of the files in a folder tree would be useful.Anonymous wrote:Is it possible to copy all files from subfolders into ONE folder.
One would select a folder (or drive), choose "flat" view, and see all subordinate files and folders "flattened" into the panel. Good for visually identifying duplicates, etc., or one could "select all" and copy/move to the other panel.
This feature is available in several SC competitors.

I do this with DOS.
But what's about an improvement of the F5-Copy-Dialog
to exclude folders like:
Copy 13 directories to
C:\Temp\*.*
[ ] ...
[ ] ...
[ ] ...
[ ] ...
[x] Files named: [ *.jpg | exclude folders ]
???
------------
And BTW, the hint to copy folders only should be
in the 'masks hints' dialog , too
i have forgotten him allready
[ |*.* ] ???
