Folder Flatten & Segregate script - Has anyone...?

[highend]

Possible, but in comparison to the latest script: SLOW
- Folders would need to be sorted from longest to shortest (by nr of folder components)
- Each folder must be checked if it contains your criterias...

Or would it be ok if all subfolders of a folder are left out, if this "root folder" already fulfills the requirements (only 1 / 2 files / folders)?
Than the resorting of folders could be left out...

Worth the effort?

it would be fine if subfolder will not be included after the root directory, it will only process the 1-level folder after the root directory, (not sure if that is the correct term), the rest of the folders/files/sub-folders after the 1-level folder would be used for checking, if there is more than 1 item then it will skip to another folder of the root directory

root directory - base directory to run script
Folder 1 - included in checking
Sub-Folder A - x
Sub-Sub-Folder A - x
Sub-Folder B - x
Sub-Folder C - x
Files A - x

Folder 2 - included in checking
Sub-Folder A - x
Sub-Sub-Folder A - x
Sub-Folder B - x
Sub-Folder C - x

Sorry, I don't get it.

would it be possible to include a check if there is more than 1 item inside the folder then it wont process the folder and jump to the next folder?

-> Every folder (apart from the root folder itself) is skipped when it contains more than one item (regardless if it's files / folders or a combination of them)

Your:

Folder 1 - included in checking
Sub-Folder A - x
Sub-Sub-Folder A - x
Sub-Folder B - x
Sub-Folder C - x
Files A - x

already contains multiple folders so it fall into the restriction -> It should be skipped. Can't see the logic of what you've requested before...

sorry for the late reply,

subfolders can be left out, only the root is processed.
