Re: Syncing multiple sub-directories to one directory
After more testing, I found that that command only syncs files that are in
that top dir. It doesn't recurse through all the dirs.

Re: Syncing multiple sub-directories to one directory
My deepest apologies. I had an inotify running that anytime something was
added to that directory it would run a script that was doing my original
sync of pulling in all the directories and images. After turning that off,
I was able to see your line work as you said it should. Thank you very
much and again, I apologize for mistakenly stating the code you provided
didn't work.

Except some of those dir have subdir such as WhatsApp and DCIM has multiple

Ah, that's what you were trying to do. Your original email sounded like you
just didn't want it to recurse into subdirectories.
An easier solution than what you ended up with is to specify a trailing
slash after the dir names since that tells rsync you want to copy the
content of a directory rather than the directory by name:
rsync -riv --progress --include '*.jp*g' --include '*.png' --include
'*.dng' --include '*.raw' --include '*.nef' --exclude '*'
/my/phone/root/dir/{Duo,DCIM,WhatsApp}/ /my/backup/directory/for/images/

Re: Syncing multiple sub-directories to one directory
Interesting idea. It isn't something I have ever wanted to do. BTW, if
your find is recent use + instead of \;. + replaces {} with however
many entries fit in the command line length limit instead of running
individual rsync processes for each entry.

Re: Syncing multiple sub-directories to one directory
Thanks for your help. What you provided didn't work for me because that
still placed things in subdirectories.
I figured it out. This puts it all in the images directory.
find /my/phone/root/dir/ \( -path '*Duo*' -o -path '*DCIM*' -o -path
'*Pictures*' -o -path '*Camera*' -o -path "*Download*" -o -path
"*textgram*" -o -path "*WhatsApp*" ! -path '*.textgram*' ! -path
'*.thumbnails*' \) -type f \( -iname '*.jp*g' -o -iname '*.png' -o -iname
'*.dng' -o -iname '*.raw' -o -iname '*.raw' \) -exec rsync -uz --progress
"{}" /my/backup/directory/for/images/ \;

You didn't specify what isn't working as you expect. That command works
fine for the 3 listed dir names as long as you either don't have matching
files inside /my/phone/root/dir (or as long as it's ok to also copy those
files) and as long as there aren't subdirs or files named the same as the 3
top dirs you included. The latter can be fixed by anchoring your dir names
and making them only match a dir (e.g. --include '/Duo/'). If you want to
have the copy avoid files in the top dir you can either change all the
file-based includes to have a "*/" prefix (such as "--include '*/*.png'
...") or you can change the dir includes into args and exclude '*/*'
instead of "*". The last option would look like this (I also tossed in -i):
rsync -riv --progress --include '*.jp*g' --include '*.png' --include
'*.dng' --include '*.raw' --include '*.nef' --exclude '*/*'
/my/phone/root/dir/{Duo,DCIM,WhatsApp} /my/backup/directory/for/images/
That assumes you've got bash to do the brace expansion, but you could
change that into 3 arg paths if you need to. You may also want to add --del
if you want rsync to delete inside the 3 listed dirs.
I'm not sure why you listed an extra command with "NewDir" when it's not
mentioned in the first command. If that is an indication that you really
want to copy all dirs under root/dir (not just the 3 named dirs in the
first command) then you could use an include of "/*/" to match any dir in
the root of the transfer, like this:
rsync -riv --progress --include '*.jp*g' --include '*.png' --include
'*.dng' --include '*.raw' --include '*.nef' --include '/*/' --exclude '*'
/my/phone/root/dir/ /my/backup/directory/for/images/
One last suggestion, I like to make the args shorter by using -f (filter)
commands, so an include example is -f '+ *.png' and an exclude example is
-f '- /*/' (those are identical to the equivalent include/exclude args, so
that's just personal preference).
