Search feature in copy feature

[AnthonyCian]

Hi,

Can the Copy File feature include an option found in the Search feature? The feature is, Search in Subdirectories, here you can designate how many levels it will search the files. Can that option be implemented in the Copy Feature? So when I highlight the folder that I want copied, I can set the level, and be able to copy the current or 1 level down, not unlimited. Mainly, I want to copy the folder structure of the current level and not all levels, excluding all files. I do this by giving the "only files of this type" a bogus ext. This works, only directories are copied, but I don't want all levels. Mainly the current level and 1 level down... Even a plugin will do if there is one.

thanks,
Anthony

Try TreeCopyPlus. Search for files/folders with needed depth, feed results to listbox, select desired items and press Alt+F5 and choose this plugin, it will copy items keeping folder structure. But you can't copy empty folders in such way.

Thanks MVV,
I tried the plug-in and it's not what I was hoping for. It's close though... I really like to create a folder structure without the files, and be able to set the folder depth level (going down) from the highlighted folder(s).

If you want to replicate directory structure only with depth limitation, you can use a dedicated tool xxcopy.
This is the most versatile copy tool i know..

Code: Select all

program=<folder to>\xxcopy
parameters=/E /X*.* /DL<n> %N %T

Fill <?> with your needs, you can even use askparam if you need to enter depth each time.
