Folder merging

Postby finna92 » Sun Sep 29, 2019 5:43 am

Hi all,

I know that individually, BRU is able to rename and move files from within a single folder to another, but is it capable of having several folders selected, renaming the files within (not the folder) and then moving all the renamed files to a single folder?

Thanks!

Hi, how would you want to rename the files before moving to the same folder? thanks

In the most complicated way... 0001 0002 etc
I know how to do the renaming of files, but I don't know how to do it from folder level for the files inside of multiple folders

If the folders are within a single tree, you can use 12:Filters -> Subdfolders.

If not, you should be able to drag&drop your wanted folders into BRU.
(Do verify that the d&d did in fact d&d all that you have expected.
If not, clear your list & do it again.)

Your rename settings should work on all the files.
13:Move should do likewise.
