Hey Guys! Managing files across multiple folders can be a challenge, especially when you need to pick specific file types and compress them into a ZIP file. This guide will walk you through how to achieve this using both Copywhiz and PowerShell.

Let’s take a look on how to achieve this using Copywhiz:

What is Copywhiz?

Copywhiz enhances your file-copy experience by letting you to have more flexibility & control over the file copying and backup process.

• Copy files to multiple folders/computers
• Copy files from multiple folders and paste them at once
• Sync files between source and destination
• Pick files from multiple folders and compress in single .zip file
• Schedule file backups
• Verify copied files for data integrity
• Retain security attributes of files & folders (ownership/user access)
• Several more hidden nuggets designed to make your file-copy task easier.

Here is a video describing this feature:

Video Transcription:

1. As we see in the video, we are copying various files from different folders.
2. Right-click and add it to Copywhiz.
3. Go to the destination folder, right-click and choose Copywhiz Paste Special.
4. Under Paste special we can see Paste as compressed zip file.
5. Specify the name and paste now.

Using PowerShell:

Step 1: Open PowerShell

1. Press Win + X and select Windows Terminal (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin).
2. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the ZIP file using:cd "C:\Users\YourUser\Documents"

Step 2: Select and Compress Files

Use the following PowerShell command to pick files of different types from multiple folders and compress them:

$sourceFolders = @("C:\Folder1", "C:\Folder2", "C:\Folder3")
$destinationZip = "C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\SelectedFiles.zip"
$fileTypes = "*.txt", "*.jpg", "*.pdf"

# Create a temporary folder
$tempFolder = "C:\TempSelectedFiles"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $tempFolder -Force

# Copy matching files to temporary folder
foreach ($folder in $sourceFolders) {
    foreach ($type in $fileTypes) {
        Copy-Item -Path (Join-Path -Path $folder -ChildPath $type) -Destination $tempFolder -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    }
}

# Create ZIP file
Compress-Archive -Path "$tempFolder\*" -DestinationPath $destinationZip -Force

# Remove temporary folder
Remove-Item -Path $tempFolder -Recurse -Force

Write-Output "ZIP file created successfully at $destinationZip"

Explanation:

• The script selects files from multiple source folders.
• It filters files by extension (*.txt, *.jpg, *.pdf, etc.).
• The selected files are copied to a temporary folder.
• Compress-Archive creates the ZIP file.
• The temporary folder is deleted after compression.

Conclusion

Copywhiz provides simplicity and convenience for everyday tasks.
