Copy/Move: rename all same names automatically?

Post by *Meds »

rename all files with the same name automatically

Hello
I need to move a lot of files with the same extensions to a single dir, however, when I try to do that, TC tell me that it can't move files with the same name (that's logical), so I need to rename every files with the same name, I was wondering if there is a better way to rename all files with the same name automatically on TC ?

Hi Meds,
In the move dialog you can select Auto-rename copied.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

Thanks it worked, I didn't noticed the "options" button. I clicked on the little pushpin, so the next time I can't not see it.

If you want Auto-rename copied to be the default action, add CopyOverwriteDefault=5 under Configuration section in your Wincmd.in
TC Help wrote:CopyOverwriteDefault

1..8: Set the default option chosen when clicking on "Options" button in F5 copy dialog (only used when extended copy dialog opened!).
The numbers correspond to:
0= Like 1, but do not reset overwrite confirmation options when adding files to background copy dialog.
1= Ask user.
2= Overwrite all.
3= Skip all.
4= Overwrite all older.
5= Auto-rename copied.
6= Auto-rename target files.
7= Copy all larger files (overwrite smaller).
8= Copy all smaller files (overwrite larger).
