A downloadable tool for Windows

(aka 'Only Copy Subfolders', without the files)

What is this:

Only Copy Subfolders is a handy program designed to copy only the folder structure of a complex subfolder tree, without including the files within those folders. This tool is perfect for avoiding repetitive and tedious work when setting up projects that require similar subfolder structures/hierarchies.

Key Features:

  • Efficient Copying: Quickly copy the folder structure without the files.
  • Time-Saving: Avoid the tedious task of manually recreating folder structures.
  • Project Setup: Ideal for setting up new projects that require similar folder setups.
  • User-Friendly: Simple and straightforward interface for easy use.

How It Works:

The program scans the selected directory and replicates the folder hierarchy, leaving out all the files. This results in an empty folder structure that mirrors the original, making it easy to set up new projects or organize existing ones without the need to manually recreate the folder layout

  1. Place the .bat file in the root folder you want to replicate
  2. Execute the batch file
  3. Find your mirrored folder structure in the newly created "!!!aaaResults" directory

Benefits:

  • Project Templates: Quickly set up consistent folder structures for multiple new projects
  • Streamlined Workflow: Save time and effort by automating the folder structure copying process.
  • Consistent Organization: Ensure that your projects have a consistent and organized folder structure.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for various types of projects, from software development to media organization.
  • Backup Planning: Create a skeleton of your file system for backup strategies
  • Workspace Organization: Restructure and tidy up your digital environment effortlessly

System Requirements:

  • Windows operating system, any version.
