Copy files with directory structure?

[salocorgan69]

Hi all.

If I do a selective search (alt-f7) for files, and get a result list, I'd like to then copy those files to a destination (and here's the tricky bit) while including their directory structure (but of course not any files in the same directories that didn't match my search criteria).

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Try to use packer plugin TreeCopy. You will need to select files, press Alt+F5, select TreeCopy and click OK. It will copy files (not pack) keeping structure.

Try to use packer plugin TreeCopy.

Never tried, but IIRC TreeCopyPlus should be better.

I use this

Command: %ProgramFiles%\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe "%ProgramFiles%\AutoHotkey\Scripts\TC_ClipCopySelectedPreservePath.ahk"
Parameters: "%T"

Code: Select all

trgPath=%1%
PostMessage, 0x433, 2018, 0x0,, A
ClipWait
Loop, Parse, ClipBoard, `r`n
{
	SplitPath, A_LoopField, aFile, aDir
	if( SubStr(aDir,2,2) == ":" )
	{
		FileCreateDir, % trgPath SubStr(aDir, 4)
		FileCopy, %A_LoopField%, % trgPath SubStr(aDir, 4)
	}
}

Or this

Command: %ProgramFiles%\AutoHotkey\AutoHotkey.exe "%ProgramFiles%\AutoHotkey\Scripts\TC_CopySelectedPreservePath.ahk"
Parameters: "%T" "%L"

Code: Select all

trgPath=%1%
Loop, Read, %2%
{
	SplitPath, A_LoopReadLine, aFile, aDir
	if( SubStr(aDir,2,2) == ":" )
	{
		FileCreateDir, % trgPath SubStr(aDir, 4)
		FileCopy, %A_LoopReadLine%, % trgPath SubStr(aDir, 4)
	}
}

Me too, but I think you're right. I forgot exact plugin's name.

You can use TCBL to process all files and xcopy to create and copy file at once.
sample if you want to create a copy from disk C: to drive Z:
Select file to copy (even from feed to listbox panel) an click on button or hotkey ...

Code: Select all

program: <path to>\tcbl.exe
parameters: %L @xcopy /I $f Z:$p!

-- limitations do not support Unicode names, do not work with file inside archive

Thanks everyone - totalcopyplus does the trick nicely.

Would be great to have this within the app natively.
