Copy folders to new destination

How would I copy an entire discography ("artist" folder with multiple album folders and files in it) to a new destination? Maintaining the structure is important because it's a waste of time to create new folders all together and having to rename them.

use windows explorer?

i only use file operations if i want to generate a new folder structure based on track metadata. for folders that already exists, i don't bother.

if you really want to use file operations, something like

Code: [Select]
$directory(%path%,2)\%directory%\%filename%


might do if it's consistently 2 folders deep following a format like artist\album\filename

(1) Have the file operations component installed
(1b) Re-install over your current installation (which harms nothing) if you didn’t choose the component the first time around
(2) Select files
(3) Right-click
(4) “File operations”
