Hello, 

How can I move files from multiple sub-directories to just one destination directory please?

I have a lot of files matching the filter *.TXT in several sub-directories on the drive F:\ and would like all of these files to go to one folder only on drive G:\  however FC recreates all of the sub-directories in G:\

Thank you

I also miss this function. I'm consolidating 230.000 files dated 1997 - 2021 from different internal and external hard drives, USB-sticks, Memory cards, CD, Diskettes and more where backups are created of previous backups and so on over the years. It would be of great help if I could search a complete hdd with its sub folder structure for specific files i.e. pictures including *.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.wmf;*.heic and filter date from 20170101 to 20171231 having "2017/Pictures" as destination directory with no added sub folders, to which all corresponding files would be moved or copied. 
Also having identical duplicates being removed or to automatically overwrite an existing file so the source file will disappear.
A third option to moving files could be to automatically remove the source folders as they become empty.
Peace! 
Sven
