Using Everything to copy a selected found files into another Drive USB

Post by happydz »

As the titles says, I search for all pictures stored in my PC, then I sorted them by extension, then I selected only .JPG pictures which I need to copy to USB, however, the result of Everything shows 13 582 pictures of jpg, but when the copy process started, I noticed that the total of pictures are only 13 382 pictures of jpg.
How to fix this error?

Everything uses the system to copy files.

Maybe there's duplicated images or filenames?
Was a conflict dialog shown during the copying?

Please try the Advanced Copy from Edit -> Advanced -> Advanced Copy to folder:
  • Check Regular expressions.
  • Set the old format to: (.*)\\([^\\]*)\\([^\\]*)
  • Set the new format to: E:\\backup\\\2\\\3
    (where E: is your USB drive)
  • Review the generated filenames and click OK.
(This will copy the selected files to the E: drive, preserving the parent folder)
