Is there a way to filter duplicate files from different folders out before copying and renaming them?

Hi,

Suppose I want to back-up jpg files from different folders into a single output folder and rename them.

Suppose some of these files from the different folders are exactly the same (name, extension, content, etc.).

Is there a way to filter duplicate files from different folders out before copying and renaming them to the single output folder?

Thanks !

Just set the Name collision rule to Ignore and Rename & Copy the contents of all your folders to the output folder. Any duplicates will be ignored.

Thanks a lot for your reply, David - that worked for files within the same batch.

What if I bring to the same output folder a new batch from a second driver that also has some files that are exactly the same ?

I'm trying to create this single folder and copy & rename files from different drivers. As you can imagine, I'm doing that through different batches and if I bring a file from a different driver into the output folder it will 'collide' with the same file from the initial batch...

Any thoughts about that?

Hopefully it's my last question...

Why don't you just try it?
