Move only queried files in and with the folder(tree) they are in

[kazzybash]

Hi folks,

is there a way to move files that have come up in a query to another location in their respective folders (and also the foldertree those folders are in)?

Put differently: how to move a selection of files that are scattered over folders (that are scattered over a foldertree) leaving the foldertree intact (but copying only the folders that contain queried files)?

Thanks in advance. Kind regards, kazzy

Without knowing exactly what your folder tree looks like, please try the following:

To move files/folders while preserving the folder tree:

• Select your files.
• From the Edit menu, under the Advanced submenu, click Advanced Move to folder.
• Check Regular expressions.
• Change the Old format to: ^([^\\]*)\\(.*)$
• Change the New format to: c:\\new folder\\\2
  Adjust c:\new folder as needed.
• Review the new filenames and click OK.

thanks a lot David!
