I am trying to search for all images in all direcotries under olddir
and cp them to one single direcotry called newdir bearing in mind that
there might be duplicate files

home/t/1.jpg
home/g/1.jpg

I tried the following but no help

find olddir -name *.jpg |xargs -t -I {} cp {} newdir/{}

I get errors like

cp test/ksi-1253.jpg newdir/test/ksi-1253.jpg
cp: cannot create regular file `newdir/test/ksi-1253.jpg': No such
file or directory

note that there is nothing under newdir
