Is there some way to specify a directory (let’s say ‘C:\images’) and move every .jpg file from there to another directory (say ‘D:\media’) but preserve the directory structure (so if the file were ‘C:\images\paintball\july\07\headshot.jpg’ after moving it would be ‘D:\media\paintball\july\07\headshot.jpg’)?
I’m using cygwin (but would be happy to use DOS if that works too).
Yup.
Do a tar archive of *.jpg files while preserving directory structure (there’s a switch) then extract it to the target directory. Should be a one-liner.
