Copy Folder Structure Without Files?

[MrMcGoo]

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Select top level folder, press F5, then in copy dialog enter some 'bla-bla-bla'-like filter (e.g. ek5j645gvu6kl45j6 ) into a field 'only files of this type' and click OK.

In result, TC will copy folder structure w/o files if you enter filter that doesn't match any filename.

..some 'bla-bla-bla'-like filter (e.g. ek5j645gvu6kl45j6 ) into a field 'only files of this type' and click OK.

The complete exclusion filter i use in general is

Code: Select all

|*.*

In result, TC will copy folder structure w/o files if you enter filter that doesn't match any filename.

Except if some ek5j645gvu6kl45j6 exists.

BTW single dot character is a nice and short filter in this case (checked just now) just because it is impossible to have files w/o both name and extension.

Code: Select all

MVV,
Well, "." usually refers to the current dir.

Hmmm. One day I entered <dir> in the 'only files of this type' field and it worked great - now I know why

Yes but no one file can have such name.
