Copy the contents of selected folders?

[patriotaki]

I need a tool where I can select all these folders and copy/paste the content of each folder in a new destination, and if an existing file is found, it should replace it, and if an existing subfolder is found it should merge it.
The windows tool i have provided does the job perfectly, but on Mac i still havent found a solution.

On windows im using the Folder Merger

2XDSOFT - Folder Merger

Software, Game Maker Examples, Clickteam Fusion Extensions & Miscellaneous Programming Stuff.

but on Mac i haven't found any solution yet.

Give Carbon Copy Cloner a try. I think they have a free trial period available. I have it set up to copy dozens of drives and folders to different locations, programmed to run automatically daily, even several times a day. It’s a steep learning curve and can be overwhelming at first, but the rewards are worth it if you’re up to the challenge. I own several other copying utilities—FoldersSynchronizer, Chronosync, SuperDuper!—which are all great apps, but CCC is my #1 goto copy/backup/archive utility.

from a quick look on their features list, it doesnt seem like they support copying the inner files/folders from multiple folders at once.
ill give it a try tho

You can create as many tasks as the sources, and then combine those tasks under one group which you can then schedule to run all at once. Here’s my list of daily tasks/groups.

Is there any way to deselect the first level folders (a,b,c) in a faster way? if i have 100 folders to copy, deselecting each root folder would take a lot of time.

even with the above options, it still copies the (a,b,c) folders

I don’t think I ever needed to do anything along this line, but Bombich have been good at providing support for the software. Maybe they have a way to do what you need to. I’ve had good experiences with their support in the past.

I would think that this would be achievable with automator/applescript.

it's a pitty that there are no apps that can do that in mac OS world.
