I have a very large set of files in many sub directories with many similar names. I would like to move them all to the same dir and increment files that have the same name.

I don't want to overwrite or not move/copy the files... I simply want to keep all the files and put them in the same dir... I don't care about the file names too much(well, I would like to keep the original as a substring).

Is this possible?

1. Open Tools > Configuration > File Operations. Make sure at the options highlighted below match at least. 2. Now right click the Branch View toolbar button (the icon that looks like a square made out of four blank files) and uncheck "Multi Branch View lists top folders".
3. Now select all the subfolders, again right click the Branch View icon and select "Files Only".
4. All files in all subfolders will be listed. Select all / CTRL+A, cut / CTRL+X.
5. Toggle branch view off (just click that icon), you'll return to the parent folder.
6. Paste items in clipboard / CTRL+V.
7. If you get a filename collision prompt, choose "Suffix increment to Copy" from the "Actions" dropdown, and check "Do this also for the next collisions".
8. Done.


9. Delete the now-empty subfolders; make sure no items exist in them accidentally (perhaps do another branch view).
10. Revert all change settings to last state.
