A question about moving files

Help & Support
1

I don't know how to phrase this question.

I would like to move a set of files to another folder that will have files with conflicting names. I want the selected files that have conflicts that are byte for byte identical (not just size and name) to be deleted, but I want the others to be renamed.

The general use case is merging images from one folder to another, but the source or target maybe corrupted. I don't want to overwrite a good file with a corrupted one and I don't want to lose a good file if the target is corrupted. So I would rather rename the conflicting file and figure out the difference later. And I want the selected items to be gone either because they were moved or deleted automatically.

Is this possible and how to do it?

You can rename any conflicting files during the copy/move, then use Tools > Duplicate File Finder to find and delete any identical files in the destination afterwards. That has an MD5 option which checks that file content is identical.
