Just wondering if such a thing exists... I'm currently re-sorting 5 Tb of various data (pictures, videos, documents, backup files, databases, ect...) between 3 different HDD, with a new sorting logic.
So i'm in search of a tool that would "emulate" all the file transfer (and show dir hierarchy as if they were instantaneously done (and maybe check clobbering at this moment)), and once everything is ok i can "push" the changes, and then only it starts moving things for real...
I don't know if i'm clear or not, anyways, ideas ?
Oh, and it can be both Windows or Debian, preference for Windows (more powerful PC).
What inspired me is when you make new partition on disk with gparted or anything like that ; first you list with a nice interface what you want to do and only at the end you write everything down...
Thanks for the idea, gonna make myself an app out of this and get rich.

if i read this right, you basically want to write your script, and "dry run" the sort / copy?
if so you can use rsync as the copy tool it has a dry run switch (--dry-run)
it can be used in windows inside cygwin

Kinda like this but without scripting actually. Just drag-and-dropping and make my folders looks like i copied / moved, and do the actual work at the end...
Kinda like converting drag-and-drop action into "mv" or "cp" command and adding them to a queue, and have an interface that simulate the state of the machine at the end of the execution of the queue...
