--to-folder does not put messages in subfolders! about larch HOT 4 CLOSED

--from-folder and --to-folder only copy the specified folder by design. To recurse and copy subfolders as well, you'd need to use the --all or --all-subscribed option. You could then use --exclude to specify folders/subfolders that you don't want to copy.

It's not the most user-friendly design, I agree, but it's the result of Larch being originally written for a very specific use case and eventually becoming more generalized over time.

I'm sorry, I have not been clear :)

I am using all, so for example, for the tree :
a
a/b
c

and using "all" and "to-folder s"
I would have liked to get:
s/a
s/a/b
s/c

So, it seems (to me) that this should be the normal behaviour, no ? Or maybe this mean we would need another options, such as prefix or something like that?
Thanks for your quick reply :)

Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, Larch currently isn't capable of doing this, but it's been requested before and it's on the nice-to-have list.

ok, thanks :)
