In other words the (target/source) sub/folders get merged with each other. In fact in the situation described above (after the copy operation) it would be more logical and convenient (in the “rename” scenario) to find at the destination location (beside the others) the subfolders “Test 3” (containing 2 files named “This” and “That”) and “Test 3_1” (containing 3 files named “This”, “Tom” and “Jerry”).Ĭurrently (after the copy operation) beside the others, I find a single “Test 3” subfolder (containing 4 files named “This”, “This_1”, “Tom” and “Jerry”). Sometimes while copying/pasting large amounts of folders (with subfolders inside) is not always possible to know which one (target/source) of the files contained in the folders/subfolders is the one to keep, so it would be actually nice if the user could configure the copy option in a way to get a warning about the existence of a folder with the same name rather than a file (inside a folder/subfolder) with the same name. Why don’t I get the warning that the folder “Test 3” already exists and get the overwrite, rename and skip options for the folder? If I copy the 3 subfolders from “THERE” and paste them into “HERE” I get the warning that (inside the folder “Test 3”) the file “This” already exists and I have the usual overwrite, rename and skip options. IMPORTANT: All files in all sub/folders have the same extension. I have a folder named “THERE” containing 3 subfolders named “Test A”, “Test B” and “Test 3” each subfolder contains 3 files named “This”, “Tom” and “Jerry”. I have a folder named “HERE” containing 3 subfolders named “Test 1”, “Test 2” and “Test 3” each subfolder contains 2 files named “This” and “That”. If I copy a folder called “TEST” and paste it in the same location where I copied it from I get a folder called “Copy of TEST” or “TEST_2” but if I paste it in a different location the system handles the paste operation in quite a different way.Ĭoncrete situation (which describes what I mean with “undesirable folder merging”):
