Well, that's not possible in one go. So you do it folder by folder.

Overlooked this...
Here is a small script that allows you to copy the current selected files into each folder of a selectable paperfolder...

Code: Select all
if !("<selitems>") { status "Nothing to copy, aborted!", "8B4513", "stop"; end 1==1; }
$pf = inputselect("Select a paperfolder to copy to...", folderreport("files:{basename}", "r", "<xypaper>", , , "|"), , 8+64);
foreach($entry, paperfolder($pf, , , "r"), "<crlf>") {
if (exists($entry) == 2) { copyto $entry, "<selitems |>"; }

Of course, for a Jedi scripter nothing is impossible.

Hi Highend, I had noticed the other day that this did work if any of your paperfolders were in sub folders under a parent, like "Wallpaper\Jamaica" or "Photos\Aimee". The folderreport will only show paperfolders in the base folder (Paper) and even if you make it recursive it will only show the folder name like "Jamaica" in the inputselect box. To use SC paperfolder in the next line, you need to specify the entire paper folder structure of "Wallpaper\Jamaica" for it to work.
So the way around that was to do the following. Something similar had to be done in Enternal's "PaperList" script http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12101The inputselect box is showing the ugly system ? mark though I assume because it doesn't know what they are file or folders. Thanks.

Code: Select all
$Papers = FormatList(FolderReport("files","r",<xypaper>,"r",,"|"),f,"|","*.txt");
$Papers = Replace($Papers, "<xypaper>\", "");
$Papers = Replace($Papers, ".txt", "");
// $Papers = replace(replace(FormatList(FolderReport("files","r",<xypaper>,"r",,"|"),f,"|","*.txt"),"<xypaper>\", ""), ".txt", ""); //or all nested into one line
if !("<selitems>") { status "Nothing to copy, aborted!", "8B4513", "stop"; end 1==1; }
// $pf = inputselect("Select a paperfolder to copy to...", folderreport("files:{basename}", "r", "<xypaper>","r" , , "|"), , 8+64);
$pf = inputselect("Select a paperfolder to copy to...", $Papers, , 8+64);
foreach($entry, paperfolder($pf, , , "r"), "<crlf>") {
if (exists($entry) == 2) { copyto $entry, "<selitems |>"; }
}
