Hi guys, So turns out Apple has made a bit of a mess of all my photos and I want to manually sort them out. I have thousands of photos in different folders and I wanted to sift through them all to tidy them up. My question is: Is there a way to view only the files within a collection of folders, all at once?? Either in Windows or Apple iOS Cheers!
The search function in Windows (or iOS I'd imagine) should do that unless I'm missing something. Simply search *.* ( or kind:=picture in Windows for just pictures) within the photos folder.
Do you want them to stay in the folders? If not I'd be tempted by a bit of batch file / powershell action to move them all in to one root folder.
I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do but if, say, you have a directory called "photos" which itself contains folders of photos, you can list them all with a simple dir command: dir *.jpg /s /b you can send the results to a txt file: dir *.jpg /s /b > c:\photos.txt
Open a terminal window (command + space, type terminal). Create a target directory (mkdir </path/to/target> ) Navigate to the top level directory you want to search through (cd </path/of/directory/>) Type "find . -type f -exec mv {} </path/to/target> \;" (recursively finds every regular file and moves it to your target directory)
