[QUOTE="Openskies2009, post: 1615152, member: 336200"] So I have a folder with many sub folders and thousands of different types of video files which I need to be able to search through them, pick out the ones that the dituration is greater then ten seconds and copy them to a new location retaining the folder structure. The returning results is three times less. Its time sensitive so copying all the thousands of files at once then doing a reverse search afterwards and deleting them would take to long. Example /drive/storage/PathA/Mountains.mov would be copied to /drive/BackupStorage/PathA/Mountains.mov Ive tried rsync with terminal but doesn't seem to be a way to search files in depth like spotlight. Ideas? Running Yosemite on Mac Pro [/QUOTE]
