 Duplicating Files or Folders creates
an exact copy of the files (or folders) in the same
folder as the original but with a different name. Typically
the new name consists of the original name with a sequence
number added (but you can format the new names anyway you
like).

to make a copies of

Tell FileBoss how to name the new folder (remember that the new
item will be created in the same folder as the original so it must
have a different name.
In the example above
- (work copy ?) is being added to the name.
The will be replaced by a sequential number. How the
number is formatted is governed by the Num.
of Digits: and Start At:
fields. If Num. of Digits was
set to 3, for example, the numbers would be formatted like 001,
002...011, etc. making sorting by names more
meaningful.
Tells FileBoss to append the text to the end of the name. In this
case Hugo in Yard.jpg will be
duplicated to Hugo in Yard (work copy
1).jpg, Hugo in Yard (work copy
2).jpg and Hugo in Yard (work
copy 3).jpg.
Tells FileBoss how many copies to make of each file or folder.
The result
When FileBoss has finished creating the
duplicates the Explore View will look like the following.
Duplicate Files, Complete Folders or Paths
when a Folder is selected. The duplicate command
will create a new folder, in the same place as the
as the original, but with a new name. All of files
and subfolders and in the original will be copied to
the new folder.

by selecting the
Copy Folders Only option
when duplicating a folder.
Create Multiple Duplicates in One Operation
from just one duplicate to 1,000s the choice is
yours. Want a 200 folders base on one existing folder? No problem - it
is just as easy as creating just one duplicate
Add Sequential Numbers
guaranteeing unique names. Sequential numbers can be
added before or after the name or extension. You can
even replace the extension or name with a sequential
number.
