Hello,
I wonder if I can copy files in different folders in the same time.
EX : I have a file F and I like to copy it in folders A, B and C just with one command.
Is that possible ?
Thank You
Sorry, my English is really bad

How do you like it to work?
Select one file and execute a script to copy it to always the same three folders?
or
Select one file and execute a script to be asked to copy it to "up to three different folders"?
or

E.g.:
Code: Select all
$dstFolders = <<<>>>
D:\test\1
D:\test\2
D:\test\3
>>>;
setting "BackgroundFileOps", 0;
$items = get("SelectedItemsPathNames", "|");
if !($items) { status "No items selected, aborted...", "", "stop"; end 1==1; }
foreach($folder, $dstFolders, "<crlf>") {
if !(exists($folder)) { new($folder, "dir"); }
copyto $folder, $items;
}
You have to edit the three lines in $dstFolders and put your three folders in...

I use the free utility "n2ncopy" for this. Per Google this may still be available on Sourceforge.
You can use its selector boxes, or just drag & drop eg. from XY. Drag the filenames you want copied into the left window and the target folder names into the right window. Click the Copy button - et voila!

Hm...
If you wish you could change the above script to
- define multiple folder lists
- start execution by asking which list to use
expand it by
- if selecting "Dynamic" (instead of predefined list) ask for selection of multiple destinations [ inputfolder() in a loop]
- maybe storing them as list for later re-use
- and copying to this list.
So why use an external product?
(If you need it at all...)
