Hi all,
Short Summary: How can I find files which parent folders have the same name? Long version: For a friend of mine I'm helping with tidying up his files and folders. What he basically did in the past was copying folders several times like for (bad) backups... So many files have been copied a few times, everything was quite a mess. As a first step I put everything into a new folder tree, modified the mtimes by some decades to reflect which files should be preferred and deleted duplicate files using fdupes afterwards, then I deleted all empty folders. Now there is the new "target folder tree" where most of the files are already correctly sorted in, but there are also the "sparse folders" left - i.e. folders where most of the files are already deleted, but some are still left. Assuming that at least some of these files are in parent folders with the same name, do you know any tool which can help in finding them and moving them around? Thanks a lot!
