Windows 10: Auto duplicating action on file copy/move

Hello, a problem happens with me many times in the latest version of Windows 10 and in older versions as well.

When copying/ moving files Windows asks me what to do with files with same name that do already exist. Write over/ skip/ add both. This is the normal situation. BUT, I had many cases where Windows didn`t ask me and automatically added duplicates by adding a number to the end of file name.

This happens with multi-disk operations as well as single disk operations.

This happens occasionally, and I don`t know why and when this happens.


Latest version in use now: Windows 10 1909 18363.535

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

Finding duplicate files

Hey hey,

During the years the backups have just accumulated in random places, essentially, and I would like to clean up. Is there a program that can search for duplicate files? And by that I mean identical files. I tried dupeGuru, but that somehow found ... all files to be identical I guess? Like how a bunch of jpg's with different names, sizes and locations being marked 100% identical, or how a bunch of xls-files with completely different everything also were 100% matches with each other. I don't need any fancy functions, just a list of the files that share the name and filesize and created/last write dates.
