I was migrating an e-commerce store the other day and I downloaded a directory of product images that were heavily nested in some nonsensical pattern of subfolders. The arbitrary and confusing subfolder system made no sense to the new method of hosting the product images, and made adding the image file list to the new import spreadsheet a pain in the ass.
I decided to just do away with all the subfolders and upload all the images to the root of the product images folder on the remote server. Since there were a couple thousand images hidden in a couple thousand folders, I sure wasn’t going to do that by hand, so I made a quick little drag and drop application that would automate the process.
How this application works:
- Download the application here
- Unzip the application and put it on your desktop or in applications folder
- Add a shortcut to the dock optional
- Drag folder of nested subfolders onto application or dock icon
- Enjoy the crisp sizzle of blinding, brilliant victory as your folder is now subfolder free, their contents filling the un-nested wonderment of the folder root. Behold.
