HI All,

Is there a way to select multiple subfolders and have the content inside moved to the parent folder?

Thank you for your help.

[x] Flatten Folder [folders only]

Thanks but this isn't it. I needed the files inside the subfolder moved to the parent folder. Unless, I did something wrong or missed a step "Flatten Folder" only moves the folders.

Appreciate the quick reply!!

No, such a command does not exist ATM. Would be something like "extract here" for folders (instead of archives).

Or simply be scripted...
The empty sub directories aren't deleted by the script... Should they?

Hello highend.
the script doesn't work for me.

And you did what exactly? How many folders where selected, where there any files inside them?

Code: Select all

    setting "BackgroundFileOps", 0;
    foreach($selected, <get SelectedItemsPathNames |>, , "e") {
        if (exists($selected) != 2) { continue; }
        $files = quicksearch("/f", $selected, "|", "s");
        moveto , $files, , 1, 0, 4;
    }

Is there a way to tag multiple dirs to move as this only does 1 folder?

The script processes multiple selected folders as well, as long as they have the same parent dir

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong then cause if I selected 2 or more folders it doesn't move anything but if I select 1 folder then it moves it correctly. Can you show me the light?

Here is my folder structure:

d:\temp\
d:\temp\test1\move1.txt
d:\temp\test2\move2.txt
d:\temp\test3\move3.txt

I'm trying to move all 3 of those files to d:\temp
