Total Commander

Hi Christian - have a good year.

We all collect this and that - " files "; may be the " video and sound time ist gone ??!! ".
We do backup our interests - as before - NOW ist time to figure out our duplicates. Reaorganise ... and so on.

We do still have some slowly drives as well the most have som fast ( nvmes ) for actual use - the slow ones to backup.

I did sort some files - got a folder strukture.

I can assume a function " Get this SELECTED ( sorting ) folders tree and create it on the other drive.
Hereby get all upper foolders ( remover drive letter an replace by that of the second TC Window an create that folder ( with / without copying files )

for " first " simplicity the starting point of reading could be the root of source drive and the root of target Drive.

-
a) read source folder
b ) parse OFF drive
c ) replace to target drive
d ) create folder " S " as in the hirarchy desired // respecting the questions if allready existent ... and so on.
... dont know actually if fx cmd allows creating sub - folders in ONE step ?? ...

Hi again

i think there is a " newbie " on my win 10 !?

I just remember, that it was possible to call the " copy functionality " ->
YOUR / TC dialog ... with selecting " *.dir " ... to say STARS-DOT-DIR !!!

i cant remember right how it was in earlier times ?
Just now i tried it and a Folder " selected.dir " was created with the files from origin were copied.
NOT - to say with the " upper directory structure ...

That can already be done with the normal copy operation.
Select the source tree and open the target tree in the other window.
Just enter any non-existing file type like *.xxxxx in the field
"Only files of this type:"
TC will copy your whole dir structure into the target tree
without any files.

Hi,
thanx to you THAT much.

1) have been in the top line of dialog ( copying )
2) in second line *.dir ( german extension of folder works as well as *.xxxxxxx " files )

?? seems my alzheimer is advancing

have a nice day !

But never the less :
It could also be an extension to the function " Synchronise Folders " that is available via
MAINMENUE " Commands / Befehle " -> Synchronise Folders
