Move files from many folders to one with python

LostInTheSauce

Hello,

 

I've downloaded over 80 NAIP files and they all went into their own folders. I want to batch trim the imagery to the polygon that they came with so I can mosaic them all together without the null pixel borders. Is there a way to do this in python? 

 

• I assume I'll have to move all the files out of their own folder and into one common folder to make the script easier (or not?)
• I will also have to figure out how to call them because they are numbered the same but named differently:
  • i.e. the image is called ortho_1-1_hn_s_fl133_2021_1.sid & the polygon is 
    ortho_1-1_hn_fl133_2021_1
• hoping to do this in the python window in Pro

 

Thanks for your help!

What your planning sounds feasible with python. Others may have more detailed suggestions, but I want to point out that there is some related info and code samples here: Create lists of data—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation.

 

You won't necessarily need to move all the files into one common folder.
