I have a folder composed of M several sub-folders, each of them containing some text files and N images (*.png)
This is what the tree looks like:
/parent/
/sub-folder1/
/data1.dat
/data2.dat
/image1.png
/image2.png
...
/imageN.png
/sub-folder2/
/data1.dat
/data2.dat
/image1.png
/image2.png
...
/imageN.png
...
/sub-folderM/
/data1.dat
/data2.dat
/image1.png
/image2.png
...
/imageN.png
notice that all images in each sub-folder are named the same (ie: image1.png, ..., imageN.png)
What I need is to move only the images into a new parent folder (say parent2), while replicating the sub-folder structure. After the moving is done the new parent folder should look like this:
/parent2/
/sub-folder1/
/image1.png
/image2.png
...
/imageN.png
/sub-folder2/
/image1.png
/image2.png
...
/imageN.png
...
/sub-folderM/
/image1.png
/image2.png
...
/imageN.png
(ie: only images and respecting the same sub-folders structure)
and the original parent folder should look like:
/parent/
/sub-folder1/
/data1.dat
/data2.dat
/sub-folder2/
/data1.dat
/data2.dat
...
/sub-folderM/
/data1.dat
/data2.dat
(ie: images moved out)
I've seen some examples of scripts that can move all filed into a new folder (Shell script to move all files from subfolders to parent folder) or some that can move only images (Script to move pictures) but I haven't found one that would do so while respecting the sub-folders tree.
