    Use source sub-tree as destination sub-tree on multiple files

    A really time-saving feature in version 7 would be the ability to automatically apply a certain part of the folder sub-tree from multiple source files to the equivalent destination files - more useful as the list of source files gets larger.

    For example: Suppose I have a selection of files. Some of them have a source path of:

    H:\Source\Files\A\B\C\<some_filename>

    and some have a source path of:

    H:\Source\Files\D\E\F\<some_filename>

    I want the destination path of these files to be:
    C:\MyApp\A\B\C\<some_filename>

    and

    C:\MyApp\D\E\F\<some_filename>

    respectively. It would be nice not to have to select files in blocks at a time, but to highlight them all and say, in effect, "replace H:\Source\Files in source with C:\MyApp in destination, and then append the remaining path".

    I have a project with several hundred files in lots of folders and its taking absolutely ages to set up...!

    Thanks for the idea! We will certainly look at that for a future version.
