Actually, by defining in English the things you want to accomplish, you've
made an excellent start on doing this yourself. That's really the larger
part of the project. Now just work on the first item in the 'list' -
gathering the list of files - and see if you can make it happen.

Hints:
  the defaultFolder
  the detailed files
  the folders (if you want to also copy files that are in subfolders)
  repeat

Surprise yourself! You're more capable than you think!
