    Extract Multiple files of same name from multiple folders.
    « on: November 09, 2017, 02:03:55 AM »
    Hi folks, this is my first post here so please forgive me if its in the wrong section.

    I want to extract multiple files of the same name from multiple folders and put them into a single folder.

    I have found the way to filter the files and can select all desired files in the group. The problem is when I come to paste these 200 or more files into one folder I get the 'Replace or Skip' message so can only get one version of the file.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem to keep the moving of said files a simple task?

    Thanks

      Solved it, it was as simple as the third option 'compare info for both file' then ticking both 'files from' and 'files already in'

      Thought It would be more responsible for me to explain the solution I found, rather than leaving the question open, not to waste anyone's time.
