Situation:

Left window = Camera SD card (with photos & videos all in one folder)
Right window = Photos & Videos folder in an HD partition (with many subfolders/sub-subfolders)

If I could tell FFS to ignore the folders on the Right window, just compare & sync checking ALL the files found in the root folder (regardless of the subfolders), and copy only the new ones (update) to the root folder for me to arrange into subfolders that would be great.

Does this have anything to do with Symbolic links?

Suggestions to other software that could do this in Ubuntu 15.04, ideally just as easily, are more than welcome.

Thanks in advance,

JDL

P.S. I hope this was the right forum for this question
