Usin Distinct to arrange files

Post by sk2107 »

Hello,

Please verify that this syntax to move one copy of every file to a certain location . It will be a huge operation and I want to make sure that this will do the job:

Code: Select all

distinct:md5 md5:

Thank you for your support.

Are you copying to a single folder?
-You might end up with conflicting filenames.

If the filenames are unique this should be fine.

Use Edit -> Advanced -> Advanced move to preserve the directory structure.

Yes. and I will maintain the folder structure adding the drive letter to the path using Edit -> Advanced -> Advanced to make sure that there will be no overwrites:

Old Full Path: %1:%2
New Format: x:\MyFolder\%1\%2

Best Regards
