MergeFolders combines the contents of selected folders or file collections into a chosen destination, which can be selected from a drop-down menu.
The Switch button alternates the drop-down menu display between the folders' names and their paths.
How to set up and use
Save CommandMergeFolders.js.txt to ↓
%appdata%\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\Script AddIns
