selective copy to corresponding folders

[hhartman]

Hi,
I do not know how to express my requirement in a oneliner, so below I try to sketch my situation.

I have two USB sticks and copied all files over form one to the other, retaining the folder structure.
Now I need to copy all PDF-documents again, with each document from a source folder to the corresponding folder on the destination disk.
Can this be done using XYplorer?

Kind regards,
Herman

Welcome to the forum.

Sure it can be done.

One way:

Open Menu - Tools - Configuration:
Find Files & Branch View | Branch View | Default branch view type
Switch it to files
Close the config window
A shorter way (if you still have the branch view button in the toolbar):
Right click it, select "Files Only"

Both panes are open?
On the second one (the destination) go into the root folder of the usb stick.
On the first one (the source) go into the root folder of the usb stick as well.

Switch into branch view (Menu -> View - Views - Branch View) in the src pane
Menu - Window - Show Live Filter Box
Enter: *.pdf
in it (you could have use the Type Stats & Filter button instead to achieve the same).

Now select all .pdf files right click them, hold the mouse button and move the cursor
to the other pane (the destination). Release the right button

A context menu pops up. Choose "Rich Copy Here"...
