Merge Folders feature

Post by venik »

Hello,

Would it be possible to introduce a “Merge Folder” feature?

Use case:
yyyy_mm_dd
yyyy_mm_dd+1
yyyy_mm_dd+2

When working with the same event spread across multiple days,
I’d like to merge everything into a single folder (yyyy_mm_dd).

I noticed that Batch Convert could be used as a workaround, but it’s not ideal
(it copies files, on the contrary I would expect move and delete empty folders).

Thank you for considering this feature,
Vincenzo

1. move all folders into same parent folder
2. open this parent and press 'Show files in subfolders' button
3. Ctrl+A + Ctrl+X
4. Ctrl+V wherever you need
