Flat Folder
I was organizing my digital photos this weekend, when I needed to copy lots of pictures from several folders into one folder. A quick Google search didn’t turn up any specific programs, although a few utility suites have the functionality to do what I wanted.
Side note: In Linux, I could have written a shell script to do this pretty quick. I probably could have done the same with a batch file, but it just felt wrong.
So, since I’m too lazy to actually do what I perceive as work, I wrote a quick C# program to do the job. Just in case I want to flatten a bunch of file folders later. Or, if my wife wants to… Okay, okay. I admit it. I wrote the program just for the fun of it! What can I say, I’m a geek.
Also, since I’m a sharing kind of person, I created a project on Source Forge and uploaded the end result. So, if you have a bunch of files in a bunch of folders, and for some crazy reason you want all the file consolidated in a single folder, you should head over to the project page at Source Forge and download it.
