This has been superceded. gephartr placed this functionality into PBBupdater. Thus PBBMover has been removed from download

gephartr's new PBB Installer is a great tool. It very helpfully downloads all of the PBB's on stilltruth.com (and the Walther library!) and places them into subdirectories by author or collection in your resources directory so that your directory tree looks like...
C:\PROGRAM FILES\LIBRONIX DLS\RESOURCES\PBB

...
But what if you've already downloaded most of these PBB's already to a different location? I know several people have just downloaded them into the regular resources directory. (c:\Program Files\Libronix DLS\Resources\) Duplicating an 800+ MB download can be rather cumbersome so I wanted a way to move all of my previously downloaded files into the right directories so that only those files I needed got downloaded. The result? PBBMover version 1.0.
Run this from anywhere, type in the current location of all of your downloaded PBB files and it will automatically create the necessary directories and then move the PBB's over there.
Then go run gephartr's PBB Installer and save your self a bandwidth headache.
Oh, and don't forget to refresh your resources from within Libronix.

Libronix Resource Location Definitions
tcblack,
I have moved resources around while building the installer. Somehow, Libronix recalls every location the book was ever installed. Do you know how to cleanup locations where the resource is no longer located?
refresh resources
I've built an FAQ just for you! (and for everyone else who's asked this) ;-)
PBBMover and PBB_Updater
For simplicity sake, I have taken this wonderful idea of tcblack's and added it to the PBB_Updater. I hope you don't mind Tom! :)
Actually I'm grateful
Actually I'm grateful Randy.
While it worked on my setup, apparently batch scripting is no longer the strenght of mine I once thought it was :-) Maybe I should have called it beta 1?
Anyway I'm removing the file and placing a notation that it's been incorporated into PBBUpdater.
moving files
I have downloaded most of the Still truth files. How do I tell updated where the files are to move them. I have tried twice and it only works when connected to the internet and only the stilltruth site. what am I missing?
I am using Windows XP.
RE: PBB Updater and moving files
The files need to exist in the directory above where your PBB directory is defined on the PBB Updater. If the files are there they will be automatically moved down into the directory structure that PBB Updater creates. If they are anywhere else they will not be moved.
