In response to user feedback received in email, we have designed and programmed a pair of simple Automator scripts into a package we call JPEG Consolidator. There are two versions, one will copy all of the files it finds, and the other will move files.
By default these scripts will search a specified path recursively for files with names ending in .jpg, and depending on which script you run either copy or move them all to one place. I’m releasing these at no charge under the terms of the GPL (included), with a ReadMe and a How To file inside the package that provide complete details. You can download a Zip containing an installer here. The installer will place a new folder named JPEG Consolidator in your applications folder. Source code is included, modify it at will. Please remember, it’s not my fault.
You could use these to move files of any type, they are designed for maximum flexibility. Enjoy!
If you Digg, would you Digg this, or Stumbleupon, or something? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the wonderful tool. I am unable to run this from a high level directory. As an example, when I run this from the Pictures directory, it fails. I have to go into specific iPhoto directories before the tool works. What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks,
Srini

I believe this is an automator limitation. At the moment I’m away on a vacation trip, will look at this next week. Thank you for using JPEG Consolidator. I’ll post another comment on this issue later.

I strongly recommend against using either of the JPEG Consolidator Automator Actions. These actions do not correctly handle files that have duplicate file names.
For example, make a Test Folder that contains 3 subfolders, named A, B, and C. In each subfolder, place 3 jpeg files, named 1.jpeg, 2.jpeg, and 3.jpeg. Run either action on the Test Folder. The result should be a result folder that contains 9 jpeg files. Instead these actions will produce a result folder that contains only 3 jpeg files.

Your comment correctly describes the way the programs operate. Did you notice that this fact was documented in the readme file?
