More about the Destination Folder
In the Flatten Folders dialog tell File Boss where the files should be flattened to. You can enter either a full path or enter SELF.
Entering SELF tells FileBoss to flatten the files to the topmost, i.e. selected, folder(s). So if you have 10 folders selected each will be flattened to the 10 selected folders individually.
By default FileBoss adds sequential numbers after the name of any file that has a the same filename as one that already exists. You can change this using the Advanced options.
