Rsync to copy specific subfolders and files to new directory
RootFolderI:

Code:
    RootFolderI/FolderA/Subfolder1/Subsub1/JPG1.jpg -> want this jpg
    RootFolderI/FolderA/Subfolder2/Subsub1/JPG2.jpg -> want this jpg
    RootFolderI/FolderA/Subfolder2/Subsub2/JPG3.jpg
    . . .
    RootFolderI/FolderB/Subfolder1/Subsub1/JPG4.jpg -> want this jpg
    RootFolderI/FolderB/Subfolder2/Subsub1/JPG5.jpg -> want this jpg
    RootFolderI/FolderB/Subfolder3/Subsub2/JPG6.jpg
    ...

There are many folders FolderA/B/C/etc, but the structure of folders inside is always the same (except the files, they are different)
_______________

I want to copy to `RootFolderII`:

- only all the FolderA/B/etc
- all the files in Subsub1

...Resulting is this new path, RootFolderII:

Code:
    RootFolderII/FolderA/ with JPG1.jpg, JPG2.jpg
    RootFolderII/FolderB/ with JPG4.jpg,JPG5.jpg

_________

I've got at the moment the following code (but it's not working):

Code:
    rsync -r --include='Folder*/Subfolder1/Subsub1/***' --exclude="/*/*/" /RootFolderI/ /RootFolderII/

Where

Code:
 --exclude="/*/*/"

to create FolderA/B/... -> working

Code:
 `--include='Folder*/Subfolder1/Subsub1/***'`

i want to copy all files (not the structure) ... -> it's not working

Code:
 `???`

well, I think even if it was working, it would copy files from FolderB to FolderA, and I don't want that!

pfsinhdrgen(1)						      General Commands Manual						    pfsinhdrgen(1)

NAME

       pfsinhdrgen - Create a pfs stream with different exposures defined by hdrgen script.

SYNOPSIS

       pfsinhdrgen <sample.hdrgen>

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  reads  files  defined  in  given	hdrgen script and outputs them in a PFS stream. Each frame has a tag BV with corresponding
       brightness value (APEX standard). Larger BV corresponds to less exposure (darker image), necessary to capture a bright scene.

       The generated PFS stream is to be used with photo-metric calibration software and with generators of HDR images.

       HDRGEN script file is a plain text file in  which  each	line  contains:  <path_to_an_image>  <inverse_of_exposure_time_in_seconds>  <aper-
       ture_size> <iso_speed> 0

       In  most  cases	it  is	convenient to use the jpeg2hdrgen program to create such a file automatically. In case it could not parse the exif
       information from jpeg files, it is necessary to create this file by hand. Below are the sample contents of such file:

       <--- cut here: sample.hdrgen /var/tmp/images/img08.jpg 4 2.8 100 0 /var/tmp/images/img09.jpg 58.8235 2.8  100  0  /var/tmp/images/img10.jpg
       76.9231 2.8 100 0 /var/tmp/images/img11.jpg 322.581 2.8 100 0 /var/tmp/images/img12.jpg 400 2.8 100 0 <--- cut here: sample.hdrgen

EXAMPLES

       pfsinhdrgen sample.hdrgen | pfsview

	      View exposures defined in sample.hdrgen script.
