Copy/Move to Location (13) # Loses tree structure #

Postby Shacho » Sun Jan 05, 2025 10:12 am

Great App & V4 has some great new features.
Renaming can work on files in many subfolders and does this admirably.
Issue: Copy/Move does not keep the subfolder structure. If we are going to move/copy files, it makes sense that the tree structure goes with the files.
Can we have an option under Copy/Move to Location (13) to retain the tree structure
Starting Point:
C:\Start\--+--Current\--+--File1.txt
_________|__________+--File2.txt
_________+--Archive\--File3.txt

End Point:
C:\Destination\--+--File1.txt
________|______+--File2.txt
________|______+--File3.txt

The subdirectories/tree structure has disappeared!!!
This can probably be achieved with Javascripting which is not available in the free version.

I have been using BRU for many years. Now I have moved into more advanced features. I add as a Suffix Latitude, Longitude and Altitue to the name of my images (separated by ;) to load the result as a text file in Excel.

My wish is that BRU retains the folder structure when the files come from several subfolders.
Thank you very much for a very happy user.

This is added to version 4.0.0.6
When subfolders are scanned and files are in a different Sub.Dir., the folder structure will be optionally maintained.

Thank you it does exactly what I was looking for.
Incidentally, I did manage to create my own specific javascript version for this, but a generic checkbox solution is far more elegant.
