Replicate folder tree on Shift+F7

[nemadeka]

I am a translator. I have a lot of folders for various clients, subjects, etc.

For each job I have a folder like 2012-10-11 Lathe Manual long, and each 'job' folder has a (more or less) fixed set of subfolders:

org - originals
wrk - working files
po - purchase order
PDF - pdf files for reference
ref - web reference
ttx - Tag Editor files

Currently I have to create all these folders manually. It would be nice to put the cursor on an existing folder, press Shift+F7, edit the folder name and have the empty tree replicated in the new folder.

What do you think?

It is already very easy to copy a tree structure:
A) create a file filter CTRL+F12 you label "Folders Only" on advanced tab, you check Atrributes and you check Directory and you let all other as it is.
B) When you use the F5 copy on file type, you select >Folder Only

And it is done !

Thanks. I dare say it is not as simple as Pressing Shift+F7. I'd rather create the folders manually.

Maybe take a look at this tool "Total Commander extDir"

Or just create batch file containing:

Code: Select all

mkdir org
mkdir wrk
mkdir po
mkdir PDF
mkdir ref
mkdir ttx

Then add it as toolbar button with empty Start path and press it when you're in folder where you want to create these subfolders.

You have to define the filer once !
Use it using [F5] + selection of Filter "OnlyFolder" as many time for as many year you which...

That sounds great. Thanks for the tip, I will give it a try.
