   subfolder between pictures and C: drive. These "move" and %~z are quite picky   
   functions. Meanwhile I found one script from Stackoverflow by XFlak who claims   
   that it gets file    
   size from every directory (external etc.). Script added below:

   > Herbert I tested your script on external hard drive as well and it works   
   like charm there as well. Only condition is that folder with pictures must be   
   on directory like you had in example.

   as well does it fail or not but I forgot to change the script directories C:   
   to E: and script still worked. It moved pictures from E: drive to C: drive:

   Thanks again, this piece of script helps me lot!
