How do I copy and paste all files from a collection of dozens of different folders, without having to individually open each folder and move the files?

I have a bunch of images downloaded in different folders and I want to mass move all images in each folder into a single folder

Uhh, I think that's an option with Teracopy

The defaults would be copying files and folders, but you can just copy a folder structure, or the files out. I think, I'm not at my PC to try clicking shit

You can use a command-line tool or a script to automate this process. Here are a couple of methods you can try:

Using Command Prompt (Windows)
Open Command Prompt:
Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
Navigate to the parent directory:
Use the cd command to navigate to the directory containing all your folders. For example:
cd path\to\parent\directory

Copy all images to a single folder:
Use the following command to copy all .jpg files (or any other image format) to a single folder:
for /r %i in (*.jpg) do copy "%i" path\to\destination\folder

Do you know if this preserves the date downloaded info for each picture? Ideally I'd like to keep them in the chronological order of when I downloaded them and also keep their original "date modified" info.

nta but transfering files almost always changes the date created and date modified
