Copy file to output folder, how to?

Hi,
is there a way to copy a file (in this case "points.js") from a picture folder (the source) to the output folder?
Source file (lying in the folder with the pictures included in the project):
D:\Eigene Dateien\MDrück\Pictures\2022 03 01 Norge\2022 03 01 Hahnstätten - Malmö\points.js
D:\Eigene Dateien\MDrück\Pictures\2022 03 01 Norge\2022 03 02 Malmö - Sunne\points.js
D:\Eigene Dateien\MDrück\Pictures\2022 03 01 Norge\2022 03 03 Sunne - Östersund\points.js
...
Output folder:
F:\My Albums\Master\Norge, Sverige, Danmark, Suomi\2022 03 01 Norge\2022 03 01 Hahnstätten - Malmö
F:\My Albums\Master\Norge, Sverige, Danmark, Suomi\2022 03 01 Norge\2022 03 02 Malmö - Sunne
F:\My Albums\Master\Norge, Sverige, Danmark, Suomi\2022 03 01 Norge\2022 03 03 Sunne - Östersund
...
And these files, of course, should also be uploaded.
I actually need the files where the "index.html" of a folder is.
Thanks. |

Sure. IO.copyFile does the job |

Just assume I would be able to implement (maybe again with the big assistance from Rob <g>) a tool to copy the file to the output folder. Would that mean that when JA uploads all files to my server that these files would get uploaded automatic? Thanks. |

In my skins are all files in an "out" folder in the image directory automatically copied to the output folder in a Make action.
I did ask for a general solution, see this thread, but that has been refused.

Yes, jAlbum simply uploads the contents of the output folder to the designated folder on the server |

Brilliant. So, my idea is, to just write one (Windows) batch file, which copies just all the files affected to the corresponding output folders, and I'm done. Thanks. |

Sure you can do that, but isn't that akward when you can use either Java, Groovy, BeanShell or JavaScript to copy those files automatically during album build. Just add a predir or postdir script to the skin you use and add 4 IO.copyFile statements to it.

I could code the tool to copy the files to the output directories, if you want. It is not as straightforward as the linked post suggests because it is in a tool not in a script used during album build. |

A little tricky in this case because he's using Tiger. There's a predir.js, but no postdir.js. So, easy enough to add a postdir.js - and doing it in "pre" might be problematic (when does the output dir get created?).
I could give him the lines in a postdir.bsh or postdir.groovy, but it would probably take some trial and error to do it in Javascript.  |

That’s why I did ask to implement my out folder concept in The jAlbum part, because in that case it works for all skins.
David may be you should consider it again! |

David, I have to be realistic, I don't speak any Italian (Java), Spanish (Groovy), Hungarian (BeanShell) and only a little bit of JavaScript. 
So the good old method with a batch file seemed to be a reasonable workaround. I already started to write it, but indeed, this will be a mess... I have to think about this... |

As posted in the other place, try the new tool which copies the .js file to the output directory. |

I will. Can you refer me to your post on that? |
