Copy only the 'root' (level 1) fldrs - no subfldrs or files

[Alice]

It is possible to copy only the 'root' (level 1) folders and no subfolders thereof while also excluding all files.

So if there's 8 'root' folders with thousands of folders and files below them in the Source....in the Destination all I would like is 8 empty 'root' folders created, nothing else

Slight variation on a previous discussion about 'Taxonomy jobs' :

Hi, this should work:

- Source: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
- Target: "yyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
- Include Subfolders: Yes
- Include files: "\*"
- Include subfolders: "**"
- Exclude subfolders: "\*\*"

Explanation:

Include files: "\*" only includes files in the root

Include subfolders: "**" this is a special notation: ViceVersa automatically excludes all subfolders that contain only excluded files. For example, if a subfolder X contains 5 documents, which have file extension .doc, and the profile settings exclude all files with extension .doc , then ViceVersa will exclude the subfolder X too, automatically.
This default behavior can be overridden by adding an include subfolder "**" as the first subfolder filter (double *, without surrounding "). With this special filter, subfolders containing only excluded files will not be excluded. (see help file)

- Exclude subfolders: "\*\*" But exclude subfolders past level 1 (level 2 or higher)

Yes that worked thank you.

Just used this method once again, but to copy the folders from levels 1 & 2 into a new empty structure this time.

Brilliant !
