Need a way to merge folders and treat files in the following manners: (1) If the two same-named files are the same, keep a copy of the file. (2) If the two same-names files are NOT the same, keep both copies. (3) If the file does NOT exist in the destination folder, move the file from source folder to destination folder. Is this possible? Jun 19, 2010 The problem is that I have a lot of music, and iTunes organizes the music by putting music in separate folders via artist, and then more separate folders by album. This means there is no easy way to transfer all of my music over. I'd have to manually click on every folder, and copy songs one by one, which would take a super long time. Extraction from Multiple EML File(s) and Folder. This software allows extraction of EML attachments in bulk with the help of the features offered. Avail the options to Add File(s) and Add Folder to extract multiple EML attachments in one shot. Add the folder that contains EML files to extract all the attachments in just a few clicks without.


Ever wanted to get all the files out of a folder and its subfolders? For example, if iTunes manages your music collection you might want to make a copy of the music files contained in the various subfolders but without also copying the folder structure. I do this to when creating SD cards full of music to play on my car’s stereo.

Or perhaps somebody’s sent you a load of images in a series of subfolders and you want to extract them without any fuss.

The solution is simple.

1. Open the folder using Finder, then type a single space into the search field at the top right.
2. This will open the search options, which will default to “This Mac” (i.e. all files and folders on the computer). Click the name of the folder from which you want to extract files, which will be alongside.
3. Click the plus (+) button alongside the Save button at the top right of the window. This will add a new line of search conditions reading Kind: All. If you’re attempting to extract ALL files then leave this as it is. If you’re attempting to extract just music, for example, then change the Any dropdown to something appropriate.
4. Click the plus button at the right of this new line, which will add another search condition. Change the first dropdown on this to read Name. Leave the second dropdown as it is, but in the field alongside type two quotes (“”).
5. In the Finder window below you should see represented all the files in the folder, and any subfolders it contains. You can then click and drag these in the usual way to another folder to copy or move them.


Know better?

I must be doing something wrong, followed all instructions, and got the end result, but as a list, it will not let me select all, I cannot drag anything outside of the window it was sorted in. If I click the icon view button to get the exact same result as the screen dump on your page, it only gives me a blank page. Please help, I am so close yet so far from achieving what I need.
Many thanks

Hello, I am using Catalina 10.15.1 and am not able to get this search to show the music from the sub folders. I have settings of:
1. Opened Main Music Folder
2. created a space in the spotlight bar
3. Next to “This Mac” chose the folder
4. Selected + sign
5. added Kind -> Music -> All
6. Selected next + sign
7. added Name -> Contains -> “” in space

The folder sat all night saying loading but nothing has appeared from the search.

Thanks!
