Bulk copying of files from one folder to another

Help & Support

Does Opus by chance allow for bulk copying of files from one folder to another?

As background, I have a folder with 3,000 files that I would like to split amongst three different folders.

So for example, I have a list of names for 1,000 files and would like to pull them out of the folder with 3,000 files in it, and copy it into a different folder.

I am new to Opus and would be grateful for any direction and guidance.

Thank you,

So you've got a text-file listing 1,000 filenames and you want to feed that into Opus to tell it which files to select/copy?

I'm not sure there is a good way to do that. In theory, you could add "Select " or "Copy " before each line in the file (using a text editor with macros, that only takes a few seconds to do all lines at once), then paste that into an Opus command. But I'm not sure how well it would handle a 1,000 line command; we may limit the size of commands to something smaller than that. (I'm not actually sure, but it wouldn't surprise me.)

If it was me, I would probably write a little VBScript or similar to read the list of files and copy them. (Which could be put on an Opus button for convenience, if it's needed frequently.)

Thank you for the guidance, Leo. Much appreciated.

As this is not a reoccuring task, we put together a simple PowerShell script and managed to successfully do this.

Thanks again,

Steve
