software that moves files

[froggy_newb]

is there software, most likely homebrew, that will automatically move files from one folder, to another (that you selected). the reason is so i can have custom skins for games, but when i need to scrim i can run that program and it will move all those files to a designated folder.

If you don't mind copying [rather than moving] the files to the 2nd location [you could always manually delete the originals if necessary]...

The FREE version of SyncBack (http://www.2brightsparks.com/downloads.html#freeware) allows you to set up a "Profile" with a "source" and a "destination".
You can then "synchronise" the source and the destination [or backup the source to the destination].
That means that when you run the program and choose the profile and run the synchronisation...
The configurations you've made apply [see some of those settings below].
e.g.
1 If you wanted to COPY files from one folder to another when there were files in the source folder, but not in the destination folder...
You'd configure to "Copy file to destination".

2. If there are files in both locations, but the files in the source have changed...
You'd configure it to overwrite the older files in the destination with the newer files in the source.
Or have the source files always overwrite the destination [backup].

Completely homebrewed:-


Save the following two lines into notepad and save as move.bat
Modify the lines to represent the paths to your actual source and dest folders appropriately
Use copy /Y instead of copy /-Y if you dont want to be prompted to copy over existing files in the destination folder
Use del /Q instead of del /P if you dont want to be prompted to delete all the files in the source folder


copy /-Y C:\source\*.* C:\dest\

del /P C:\source\*.*

Double-click or otherwise run move.bat
