Post New Requests Here / Re: Separate out and move files to subfolders
« Last post by skwire on November 10, 2013, 12:52 PM »I just finished giving this a fairly thorough testing. Here's my setup:
Test #1:
120,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 1000
Command: Copy
Test #2:
10,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 10
Command: Copy
Test #3:
1,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 100
Command: Copy
Test #4:
5,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 100
Command: Copy
I hope this helps some.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (Version 6.1 Build 7601) Service Pack 1
CPU: 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz
MEM: 16 GB
Source folder: c:\tmp5
Target folder: c:\tmp6
Using zero-byte files named File_#.txt where # is 1-to-however-many test files I generated for a given test.

Using zero-byte files named File_#.txt where # is 1-to-however-many test files I generated for a given test.
Test #1:
120,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 1000
Command: Copy
- After clicking Run, the statusbar updated to "Processing 0 of 120000" and the CPU usage immediately went to 100% for one of the CPU cores.
- I left it there for a few minutes but nothing was created in the target folder.
- Killed the process, tried again with a files-per-subfolder of 10000 with the same results.
- Tried the various "Sort files by" methods but no changes in behaviour.
Test #2:
10,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 10
Command: Copy
- After clicking Run, the statusbar updated to "Processing 0 of 10000" and the CPU usage immediately went to 100% for one of the CPU cores.
- File groups began to be created very slowly.
- When I say slowly, I mean slowly. After fifteen minutes, the program had only created roughly 300 of the eventual 1000 folders for this test.
- Killed the process as clicking the close button didn't work while the app was in its file processing routine.
Test #3:
1,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 100
Command: Copy
- File groups were created successfully.
Test #4:
5,000 test files in c:\tmp5
Files per sub-folder: 100
Command: Copy
- After clicking Run, the statusbar updated to "Processing 0 of 10000" and the CPU usage immediately went to 100% for one of the CPU cores.
- File groups were created successfully. Again, though...much more slowly than I would expect (as a programmer).
I hope this helps some.
