  1. Copying / moving only one specific type of file


    Hi! First of all, thank you for even taking the time to read this.

    TLCopying / moving only one specific type of file :DR - How do I, in a large folder with ~200 more folders, select one type of file?

    To move on to my 'issue' right away; I have one large folder that consists of ~200 more folders. Each of those folders has 2 types of files in them: A .psd (photoshop) file and a .png file. I want to move all of those folders to a new folder without the .psd files. So, I want to move each folder with only the .png files in them.

    Is there a way to do this without hitting each folder, only selecting the png's and moving them?

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
