  1. How to keep both files when copying duplicates?


    I have Windows 10 Pro. I am trying to copy emails from Outlook Microsoft Office Standard 2016 to a folder on my computer. It's 500+ emails, many emails in just a few threads. I am unable to copy all 500+ emails to the folder. When I try to copy a "duplicate" email the subject is the same but the content of the email is different, same thread, different email to the folder, I am only give the options to Copy and Replace, or Don't Copy. Instead of keep both. How can I keep both/all "duplicates"

    :)

    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

    How to keep both files when copying duplicates?

    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.
