Hi there.

I can't believe things are still coming at me in ways that cannot be dealt with my one of the many actions you've already written for me, but this, I think, is a new one.

I have a single image file & I'd like to copy it into each of a selected set of folders.

As you can see from the attached image, the single cover image (top right) resides one folder.

Ordinarily, I'd hold down the alt key & drag the image once into each of the 47 folders that make up the set.

I'm just wondering if there's a way of having it do that at the touch of button?

I'm also wondering if it makes sense for it to be a kind of "choose the image file" then "choose the folders you want a copy of the image going into" type thing, so the the location of the image file in relation to the target folders is not critical?

Once the image is copied into each of the folders, I can make use of the "disc number into "000" in image name" action that you made for me recently so that I don't have to worry about the numbers in the folders, as these sometimes have different formats.

Does that make sense?

Download the action at: https://2manyrobots.com/actions/Copy-Selected-Image-to-Selectd-Folders.zip

The action is called Copy Selected Image to Selected Folders

Your prompted to select an image file then to select one or more folders to recieve the image. The action is smart enough to ignore the initial folder if it is selected.
