Altap Salamander Support Forums

Altap Forum,

I'm trying to copy many files (from many directories) to one directory. After I use the Altap find command to locate all the files, I highlight the files presented by "find" then cut and paste to the new directory. To my surprise, the files are written to the new directory with the full path of the file. I do not want the full path. I want all of the files in the new directory, without any sub-directories included. Can Salamander do this? Windows Explorer does does this, but it cannot handle large numbers of files. How can I do this with Salamander?

For example:

I have tens of thousands of music files, in hundreds of directories. I want to put all the music files in one directory. How can I make Salamander do this?

Thanks,

James

James,
there is a trick to do that with the Renamer plugin. Check out this thread: How to copy all files from subfolders into one folder?.
And welcome on this forum

Hi James, the Find files->Select->Copy->Paste works forks for me. Files are copied/merged into the destination directory.

You can also use the Batch Rename command: http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?t=869
