Rich copy multiple folders+structure + specific file ext's?
Posted: 01 May 2016 18:17
Title says it all.
I have about a zillion backup folders in the root of my backup drive, and a lot of those will have folders containing jpeg/jpg images nested somewhere in them. What I'd like to do is multi-select the relevant folders which *could* contain photos I'm interested in, and copy these and their structure and any jpg/jpeg files in them (but not other extensions) to a new location.
My aim is to create a duplicate of these folders and their structures, but not copy the actual files they contain other than jpg/jpeg (I'm not interested in any other extensions and the folders include a *lot* of other files, including a lot of large files, which will be very slow if I copy everything).
I'm sure this can be done but it's beyond my skill level?
