Hi,
I would like to extract all the elements of some selected folders without to have opened all the folders (and then automaticaly delete all theses selected folders).
How can I do that, please?
Thx!

Easiest ways:
1. Turn on Folder \> Flat View (No Folders), select-all, then drag it to where you want it.
OR
1. Tools \> Find Files, search for \*, then similar.

The easiest way is to use a script. 😃
