Levelcopies files from multiple sources into a flat folder. It can be invoked from the commandline. For every source you can specify a file filter, and currently therre are switches to include/exclude subfolders, whether or not you want to overwrite all files that already exist or only older ones. You can have unlimited sources (afaik) When you start it from explorer you see this:

I can imagine that it would be handy to use to consolidate all your music from different pcs into one folder.

It requires cat.exe from UnxUtils because AutoHotkey doesn't allow you to send the output directly to the commandline. So if you want any output then put |cat at the end of a command. Instead you can also pipe it to a textfile.



for example:
[copy or print]
level -oo -s c:\temp\1\*.* c:\temp\2\*.* d:\temp\output |cat
This would copy all never files from 2 sources on the c-drive into one destination folder in the d-drive, including subdirectories. However the output folder won't have any subdirectories (it's flat -- so if you have duplicate files, the newest version is always available)

Feel free to use it in any way or if you have suggestions they are welcome too.

Very nice util Justice. Ran a simple test, works as advertised, can't beat that smiley

Thanks for the heads-up on the Unix/Win32 utils. Couldn't download from the site mentioned but Google quickly found a mirror in Germany where I could (seems to happen from time to time).

I'm thinking of writing a similar routine that would parse a tree & copy (or move) image files of a size, say 1024x768 into a flat folder, perhaps putting dups (1 of, in the case of several) in a subfolder in the case of moving.

Thanks for the outline  Thmbsup

Thanks xcopy much appreciated smiley I still read it haha smiley Maybe it's interesting to show how I use it:
At work I use a slightly different version (with progressbar and visual display of the last copied image) to copy a bunch of staff/student images from many different folders into the one folder so that they can be easily referenced from webpages. Ah it seems I said that in the babble.
