Open a command window at the source folder
try a DOS command like this,
long line may wrap
replace the [usb*] with the spec for your system,, filespec can be anything, *.jpg *.raw that your camera requires
for %f in (*.*) do if not exist [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]\%f copy %f [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]
or you can make a batch file to do the same thing as this is likely to be a repeated task
@echo off
cls
echo Copying New Files
for %%f in (*.*) do if not exist [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]\%%f copy %%f [usbdrive]:\[usbfolder]
echo New files Copied
better batch file takes source & destination as arguments for multiple uses
@echo off
cls
If not exist %1 goto error
if not exist %2 goto error
echo Copying New Files from %1 to %2
cd %1
for %%f in (*.*) do if not exist %1\%%f copy %%f %2
echo New files Copied
goto done
:error
echo Copy batch file requires two parameters
echo %0 [source] [destination]
:done
I had nothing else to do
Thought everyone has played with command prompts at some stage
the command prompt is available from the right click menu in windows at most folders
its a black boring window like the screen on a 1980s pc
and you can use it as one
if your USB pictures are in G:\PICTURES
for %f in (*.*) do if not exist g:\pictures\%f copy %f g:\pictures
will look at each file in the folder you start in one at a time, compare it with the folder you are aiming for, and only copy the file if it does not already exist.
