"Copy to..." function replaces same named files

[Saulo_GPU]

Hello Everyone.

I used to use FFS to show me same extention files.
I use the function "filter" to do that.

For exemple:
I want all *.pdf files from my old HD.
The FFS show all pdf files to me.

However if I will use the "Copy to" for copy all files to a only folder, files with same name will not copied and a error occurs.
If I mark "Overwrite existing files", only the last file with same name will copied and the others will be replaced and deleted.

FFS could do the same function that Windows.
Windows renames the same files with numbers.
For exemplo:
Picture (1).jpg
Picture (2).jpg
Picture (3).jpg
Picture (4).jpg
....

FFS could implement that?
Thaks a lot

FFS is not designed to copy from "many" to "1".
It is designed on the concept of directory pairs.

Versioning might do something for you, but again only in the context of directory pairs.

I think that it is very useful to group same files types like pdf, docs, html.

FFS is likely not the tool for this use-case (in which duplicate file-names could occur).

Everything (Windows only), do a search for ext:pdf (or filter in any way you want, O: ext:pdf, to get pdf files from your O:ld drive, named, O:).

Select all (or those you want), Ctrl+C (to copy), then Paste same into your wanted directory.

Depending on collisions or whatnot, you should get a standard Windows dialog (& depending on OS version), offering to something like; Copy & Replace, Don't Copy, or Copy but keep both files.

If you select the last method, you will get (a new file of) "filename - Copy(x)" kind of thing.
