OT: mac question

| ->> I have about 40 folders from a tournament that list the names of the teams playing. Each folder has about 5-8 GB worth of images in them. Is there anyway I can copy those 40 folders to another location without the images inside? I want to duplicate the folders, but not what's inside of each one. I'm on a mac. |

->> Unless there is something I'm missing, to copy just the actual folders you would have to remove the contents first.
Might be easier just to create new blank folders and title them in the new location. |

->> Monty,
Any way you want to do it will be a little labor intensive of moving things around.
I would just create the folder structure you want and if you want to keep using this for multiple events I would put that structure inside a folder labeled "event workflow" or the like. Then you can just copy the empty folders to your new event each time. Copy by holding the Option key while dragging to the new location.
Then in the future you don't have to keep creating the folder structure you want. |

mkdir /where/you/wantem
cd /source/dir
