Giovanni couldn't actually replicate the path exactly because that would be asking the the OS to create its own duplicate folder names. I guess he wants to cut and paste the folder hierarchy found in the path but not to include any files other than the file found by the search. Could get tricky if the located files are in more than one folder. > What have you tried? > > I have a very big database of programs to pick from, or give you the > listings covering both types of programs.

Then you have to go through them again to check that the tag/metadata is also correct. I learnt my lesson having to sort & rename some 20 GB of mp3s which had been allowed to accumulate.

From: GRL on 5 Apr 2010 12:46 First, thanks to all. No program can do what I was looking for. To be more precise: I' d like to rebuild the exact path of the found files under another folder or device. So, the OS should be able to do it, because there wouldn't be any conflict.
