Moving files to different directories

Post by BlackAndWH »

Can you somehow automatically make folders when moving files? My apologies if it was asked before

Select your files
Edit | Advanced -> Advanced Copy to Folder...

In the New Format: box, change the existing drive letter to your new wanted drive letter.

That should provide a mirror like copy to the new location.

Pay attention & be careful. Test first.

This is a nice facility, the only thing I don't like is that you have to type the path. I think it would be better with a dialogue box to search for destination.

Mark the files and
Edit / Advanced / Advanced Copy to Folder...
Change the New Format field, see my example screenshot

There is a browse button on the right of the New Format field

No, I'm talking about the new full paths field

The browse for folder in the New Format allows you to find the base target
The rest is controlled by the replacement options in this dialog.
Why should I change the full path field,
thats normaly not needed and shows you the result of the replacement options and its variables.
It doesn't make sense if I follow your initial request.
