Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Create folder structure or path
« on: April 27, 2009, 03:28 PM »
Thanks for the suggestion!
This, however, is not what I want to achieve. I found this free sw to do what I think you suggest to do with xplorer2: TreeCopy
But both of these two programs will create a whole tree of branches, when I only want one single branch!
If I want the branch \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\ (like in my first post) I would have to copy the 'Documents and Settings' level. That would give me a copy that looks something like this:
D:
| temp
| Documents and Settings
| Administrator
| Everything below here
| All Users
| Application Data
| Everything below here
| Desktop
| Everything below here
| Documents
| My Pictures
| Favorites
| Everything below here
| Start Menu
| Everything below here
| Default User
| Everything below here
| User1
| Everything below here
| User2
| Everything below here
When all I really want is this:
D:
| temp
| Documents and Settings
| All Users
| Documents
| My Pictures
Sure, I could use this method to create the complete empty structure, then copy my file to the desired destination, and finally use the convenient little DelEmpty-app by Skrommel. But that's kind of an uggly solution...
So, suggestions please..? Is there maybe an easy way to do this already?
Otherwise, I'm thinking a program that adds options to the context menu in Windows Explorer. When right-clicking a folder, the context menu would offer "Copy folder path" (implies from root to here), and when right clicking another folder, the menu would offer "Paste folder path" if one is present in the clipboard.
If you do not want the complete path from the root, you could manually copy just a selection of it from the Address-bar, which places it in the clipboard, and thus makes it possible to paste with "Paste folder path".
Now, that'd be great!
