  Copying image sequence in order

  Posted by Jamie Evans on October 29, 2011 at 11:30 pm

  If you’re looking for better playback performance of your image sequences, try copying the files in sequential order. It also helps to set your filesystem’s reservation size to something like 2GB.

  To copy directories recursively in lexicographical order, cd to the root of the directories you want to copy and enter this command:

  cd /copy/from/directory
  find -s . -name “*” -exec cp {} /copy/to/directory/{} \;

  This command will sort all find results and pipe them to cp commands.
