copy ini files with specific names

[totalcommanderuser]

hi. i want to copy a top folder with a bunch of subfolders, but i want to copy only *.ini files that called "settings" from there
and also, preserve full path on the destination
how can i do that?

thank you

When you copy you can specify in the dialog the file type you want to copy *.ini .
To not copy empty folder use additional |**\

Code: Select all

*.ini | **\

You will copy the complete hierarchy of folder and all the ini files.

If you want, you can delete all the empty folders using folder size or empty_check plugin.

You can also just add |**\ to the "Only files of this type" field in the Copy dialog to avoid empty folders from being copied - so the field should look like:

Code: Select all

*.ini |**\

F5: Copy
.
Copy dialog
.
In the field Only files of this type, you can define that only specific files should be copied.
.
Append |**\ to skip copying of empty folders.

only *.ini files that called "settings" from there

I dont understand what you exactly mean by that? - do you mean only files with the name settings.ini ? - if so, just use settings.ini in the "Only files of this type" field:

Code: Select all

settings.ini |**\
