===== Usecases =====
==== Copy all images from folder and child folders ====
<code Python [enable_line_numbers="true"]>
  import os
  import shutil
  def copy_images_and_parent_folder(source_folder, destination_folder):
      # Create the destination folder if it doesn't exist
      if not os.path.exists(destination_folder):
          os.makedirs(destination_folder)
      # Walk through the source folder and its subfolders
      for root, dirs, files in os.walk(source_folder):
          for file in files:
              # Check if the file is an image (based on file extension)
              if file.lower().endswith(('.png', '.jpg', '.jpeg', '.gif', '.bmp')):
                  source_path = os.path.join(root, file)
                  destination_path = os.path.join(destination_folder, file)
                  shutil.copy2(source_path, destination_path)
                  print(f"Copied {file} to {destination_folder}")
      # Copy the parent folder from the source to the destination
      parent_folder = os.path.dirname(source_folder)
      parent_folder_name = os.path.basename(parent_folder)
      destination_parent_folder = os.path.join(destination_folder, parent_folder_name)
      if not os.path.exists(destination_parent_folder):
          shutil.copytree(parent_folder, destination_parent_folder)
          print(f"Copied parent folder: {parent_folder_name}")
    # Set the source folder path (change to the desired folder)
    source_folder_path = "/path/to/your/source/folder"
    # Set the destination folder path (create a new folder or use an existing one)
    destination_folder_path = "/path/to/your/destination/folder"
    # Call the function to copy images and the parent folder
    copy_images_and_parent_folder(source_folder_path, destination_folder_path)
}();
</code>

Replace "/path/to/your/source/folder" with the actual path to the folder containing your images, and "/path/to/your/destination/folder" with the desired destination folder. This script will copy image files source to the destination.
