Consolidating several files in folders to one folder?

could you just search for your movie files, cut them and paste them to the new folder?

Just drag and drop the things into a new folder. It's at least as easy as dorking with the terminal...and you'll be sure to move just what you want.

Jasmeet, you don't have to drag files one at a time. You can select multiple files using the mouse, and you can select all of them by hitting command-A or choose "Select All" from the "Edit" menu. Then drag them to the new folder.

delmoi: That worked best. Thanks! psychobum: that could've worked, but compared to delmoi's method, was a bit more work. Thorzdad: I don't mind dorking in Terminal =) I was looking for a Terminal'ish solution, glad I didn't have to use a script too. alms: I have several files, in several folders. I would've had to go into each folder, Cmd+A, copy into one folder, one by one. And there's over a 100 folders. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. This is why I <3 Ask Metafilter.

if you used "cp" you actually copied the files, so the old copies are still around, unless you trashed the orginal folder... you can use "mv" instead to move the files.

joeblough: yup, thanks. =)
