Is it possible to add such Paste-command to XYplorer: if I select some folder which has also subfolders and maybe also sub-subfolders then press Ctrl+C (Copy) and after that I could paste it to some other drive or folder keeping folder structure but without files, only folders. I need such solution becuase I have in some folders files which are different versions (backups) and then it's easier to copy later needed files to target folders. Plain copy-paste method copies everything in these folders which takes lot of time because some folders have gigs of files from which I need only some of them in new location.
Thanks in advance

Not using Copy/Paste, but if you right-drag&drop a folder, then "Create Branches Here" should do what you're looking for...

Not via the keyboard.
However, if you right-click drag & drop the folder to where you want to paste you can use "Create Branch(es) Here" (from the Custom Drag'n'Drop menu) to do what you want.

It's 98% what I need. Only drawback is that I must very observantly look what is selected as target and same time keeping other hands fingers crossed not releasing mousebutton in wrong place. Otherwise it's ok. Thanks.

Well, a new command "Paste Folder Structure" would not harm. I made a note....tomuser wrote:It's 98% what I need.
