Extracting files from sub-dirs to one directory?

[loocas]

Hi there everyone,

I have a question regarding copying files.

We follow strict naming conventions and folder structures, which also means we have to deal with a lot of sequentially named files burried deep in directory structures.

Now I know TCmd can copy only certain file types or certain files with specific naming (using the filter), however, is there a way to collect files?

I mean I need to copy only .TIF files from within a <folder_01> - <subfolder_05> - <subfolder02> - files... to one specific folder altogether so that TCmd won't copy the entire folder structure and hierarchy, but only those files it finds based on the filtering and puts them directly to the specified target folder?

It's useful when I need to just collect all the specific files for final client delivery and I need them on one place so I don't have to dig through subfolders etc...

Thank you in advance!

what i would do in this case:

search for all .TIF files and feed to listbox

then select them all and copy to the destination dir.

hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try.

Also you can use Ctrl+B to see all files from all subfolders together and copy only needed files to target panel. Maybe a bit slower than via search (TC will need to show all files instead of needed ones) but works in archives too (if you uncheck option to extract files with paths).

Thanks for the tips, guys, the search seems to be the optimal solution!

Unless there is a checkbox somewhere in the copy files dialog box.

Thanks again!

Copy function copies what you select. If you select folder, it will copy folder. If you select just files (in single folder, in branch view or in search results), it will copy files.
