    Automatically copy contents from a folder to every newly created subfolder


    I would like to create a trigger that automatically copies the files in Folder A into any newly created sub folder in Folder B. To rephrase, every time I create a subfolder in Folder B, I would like the files from Folder A to automatically be copied/added. Any suggestions are most appreciated! I had considered using task manager, but I wasn't sure the best script to use.

    :)

    Archive Manager, can't extract without creating subfolder

    I am trying to extract an archive which contains an archive split into multiple files and for that I need Archive Manager to extract the first archive not in any subfolders.

    I read on the internet that if there is more than one file in the archive Archive Manager will automatically create a subfolder when extracting, now I think that there should certainly be an option for that too but there should not be only this default option available because now I can't extract a few archives without automatically creating subfolders.

    I do not want subfolders because then the second archive won't be able to extract contents because the second archive is split into more files (which depend on each other) and now all these files are in its own subfolder instead of the same folder.

    I used to this with ease with 7-Zip and Winrar on Windows but in Archive Manager there is no such a choice where you choose yourself whether you want it extracted to subfolder or not in a subfolder.

    Automatically copy contents from a folder to every newly created subfolder

    Creating the same subfolder in multiple folders and moving the contents into that subfolder

    Hi

    I don't know how to explain this clearly but I have many project folders let's name them A, B, C, .....etc.

    Inside each of them are multiple files and subfolders.

    I want to make a subfolder named "Design" into each project file and move all the contents of the project folder into the Design subfolder.

    Is there a way I can do this?
