Analyzing serveal folders in one go

Question

I have a project which includes 39 differently named folders containing a different number of files inside. To make an offer, I will have to analyze the files inside these folders. Can I do this in one go or what would I have to do?

Hi Hans-Georg, 
 
Have you received a single project from a client with 39 folders and multiple files? 
Or are you creating your own project with the above? 
 
In Studio there is the simple Batch task analysis perfectly documented by Paul Filkin

Also the following app available from our app store http://appstore.sdl.com/ might just be the ticket

Hi, 
 Yes, you can do this in one go. Just drag and drop the entire file structure (or use Add Folder ) in Studio when you create the project (or in an existing project). If you want to view all files in all folders ones the project is set up, make sure to check the Include subfolders checkbox. 
 
 Note that you can also show the column Path (screenshot 1 below) in the file list and sort and group the file list as you see fit (right-click on a column header and click General > Path , then drag it to an appropriate place). You can for example sort by the column Name and quickly see what folder a particular file is located in (screenshot 2 below).

OK, that sounds strange. I am not sure if you are creating your own Studio project, or if you recieved a Studio project (or package) from your client. Include subfolders should be beneath the tree structure in Files view in Studio if you are looking at an existing project. 
 But, if you are creating your own project, it's slightly more subtle. When going through the New Project guide, on the page Project Files , there is an icon in the menu bar without a text label (circled in the screenshot below). That's the Include Subfolders button in the guide. You can drag and drop the entire folder structure in the big white space on this page. 
 
 I agree that it should be beneath the tree structure here as well to make the interface consistent.
