One same folder to multiple destination folders?

Help & Support

Hello,

Is it possible to create one same folder to multiple destination folders : say folder "CR2" to folders "001", "002", "003" etc...

Thanks

Sounds easy, but you have to be a bit more specific. So you want to create that folder CR2 & want to have those three
folders as subfolders, or in the same level?

ooops...no. ex: At first I could have a folder namaed CR2 on C: like C:/CR2 and on the other side few empty folders D:/001; D:/002
SoI want CR2 folder to be created or copy in the destination drive and folders like D:/001/CR2; D:/002/CR2 etc... with one action of course because I have hundreds folders to update...

Creating new folders with a name in all the destination folders may be easier than copying a folder to all the destination folders. (I haven't thought about it fully yet.) Is just creating new empty folders, not copying anything, enough?

Yes because there is already contents on the destination folders but missing subfolders: I need to organize hundreds folders like: 200081201/CR2 20081201/DNG 20081201/JPG and I am missing CR2, DNG, JPG in each folders numbered like the 20081201...then I can move the content in the right folder... Hope it's enough fo you to understand :wink:

Finaly I find a way which have nothing to do with Dopus...too bad: open execl sheet in the first colon I copy the folder list names done by the option menu edit/copy filenames/ as names only than add a second colon with /DNG, copy all the line to the notepad to remove space between teh first colon and the second than create the new folders 10 by 10 (because Dopus don't want to do all in the same time ) ... tricky isn't it?

Do you just want to create the sub folders or directly sort your pictures according to the extension to these sub folders?

If you directly want to move your pictures I would suggest to do the following steps:

Go to the folder with your date sub folders, probably your image folder:

Set a file filter with (.jpg|.cr2|.dng)
Turn on Flat file view - no folders
Alt+a to select all files

Go to rename dialog
Old Name: "*"
New name: "{ext}*"
Standard Rename
Enable file information fields

This will create the sub folders jpg, cr2 and dng in every place where files with theses extensions are found and directly moves these files to the sub folders.
