Move all *.EXT in folder and all subfolders

[richieboo]

Seems like a basic feature but I can't figure it out. I am trying to move all files that are video, so I have filter *.avi *.3gp *.mov on root folder.

I want a job that will move any files it finds with these three extensions from the source folder (and all subfolders of that source folder), to the destination folder (and all subfolders using the same folder name, create if does not exist).

It seems like I have to go into every subfolder and select it. I am doing this across a whole drive.

Thanks in advance! I hope this is possible.

Hi, your problem is likely that you are omitting the standalone (extra) filter entry *\that tells SB to look in (and 'operate on') every path of the file-set.This topic has some more notes you may find helpful.

In short, use filter entries

*\
*\*.avi
*\*.3gp
*\*.mov

I assume you have the Source set to X:\ (or whatever drive letter is appropriate) and the Destination configured as appropriate (either another bare drive (Y:\ ) or to a different drive with the video stuff segregated into a dedicated subfolder such as Y:\VIDEO\ )

I'm guessing you don't need the Move instruction (I.e. you know that part) but for the sake of any readers who don't, the Move options are on

Modify profile > Expert mode > Decisions - Files

Note for other readers: the Move options are not supported in the Free version.
