Can I specific the depth of directories level in copy dialog?
For example, I want to copy only the selected files/dirs to target no more than 2 levels subdirectoris, the option works in "search" doesn't work in "Only files of this type"
How do I suppose to achieve copy only specific level subdirectories copy?

Re: Can copy "Only files of this type" filter subdirectory level
Click on the F8 button (or press F8) in the copy dialog. In the newly opened search window, specify your parameters, i.e. directory level depth and the file type. Save the search. Then back in the copy dialog select your saved search and confirm to start the copy process. TC will only process the files which would have been found by the search.
Yes, I know it's not a comfortable process. The need to save the search is annoying, especially when such a definition is needed only once.

I would like to save some "limit to 1 level subfolder" "limit 2 level subfolder" and so on. But I don't think the depth in search option works in copy dialog. Or I did it wrong.
Did you try that actually?

No, I didn't try it until just now. This seems to be a TC limitation. Nothing I can do about it. IMO it should work, but let's wait until Ghisler replies here.
