First time user having difficulties managing sub-folders...

(1/2) > >>

Noisia:
Hello!

I've tried to figure fastest route moving sub folders into parent directory such as follows:

c:\parent\child_01\child_02\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_01\child_02\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_01\child_02\contents.ext

etc.

I want to sort as follows:

c:\parent\child_02\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_02\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_02\contents.ext

etc.

I really apologize for putting it in such lame terms i'm not acquainted with wildcards and folder management tools... :(


Thanks in advance! :)

Jungle:
If i understand correctly and you need to move entire folder to parent, there are several ways.

1. Drag'n'drop folder to a '..' item in the same explorer panel
2. Open parent folder in the opposite panel and drag'n'drop folder from source to destination panel (or use keyboard shortcut)
3. Write multi-script

I was wondering is there is a way to filter all "child" folders with a wildcard then CTRL+A moving them to parent accordingly?

I Assume you mean

c:\parent\child_01\child_02\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_01\child_03\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_01\child_04\contents.ext
(or you will have a lots of duplicated names...)

What you can do is to copy/move c:\parent\child_01 to c:\parent  (to it self ? yes..)
and then in the CopyTo-Dialog, you expand the UI and under FileOperation plugin you select "Folder Content"
It will now Copy/Move the content of the select folders to the target and not the selected folder itself
So It will copy/move the content of c:\parent\Child_01 to c:\parent

So you should get

c:\parent\child_02\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_03\contents.ext
c:\parent\child_04\contents.ext

I'm not sure if i understand your method since this is the very first time i'm using this program. I'll demonstrate the task-at-hand using the proper folder structure i have:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Fear Factory\1998 - Obsolete\1998 - Obsolete [Roadrunner, RR 8752-5, USA]\files.ext
C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Fear Factory\2001 - Digimortal\2001 - Digimortal [Roadrunner, RR 8561-5, Germany]\files.ext

I want the fastest/painless method of achieving this move up to parent folder:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Fear Factory\1998 - Obsolete [Roadrunner, RR 8752-5, USA]\files.ext
C:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\Fear Factory\2001 - Digimortal [Roadrunner, RR 8561-5, Germany]\files.ext

Is there a batch/automatic process embeded in MC to achieve it?
