Filename conflicts in AutoSort

This window will popup during file move/copy operations to allow the user to resolve file name collisions between the source and destination folders.  This window will only popup when the 'Ask what do to' options is set in the options window.

SOURCE FILE & DESTINATION FILE SECTIONS

These two sections provide basic file information to help the user decide what action to take in order to resolve the filename conflict.  The source file always part of the folder you're sorting from, the destination file is always part of the folder you're moving/copying files to.

A view button is provided to allow viewing of the source and destination files.  The viewer used is the default viewer registered in Windows for that file type.

DESIRED ACTION

This is where you tell AutoSort what to do to resolve the file name conflict.

The options given are the same as the options documented under move/copy options in the file name collision section.  If you don't what this window to popup at all, select one the appropriate default action in the options window.

Note that the filename input boxes will only be visible when the 'Rename' option is selected.

The New Source Name input box is used to tell AutoSort what to rename the source file to before moving it to the destination folder.  By default, the name provided for the rename operation is generated by a simple algorithm which always guaranties a unique filename.  You can however manually set the new name to whatever you want.

DO ALL FILES & OK BUTTONS

The OK button performs the selected action on the current file, this window will popup again for the next filename collision.

The DO ALL FILES button is used to apply the same action to all other filename collisions for the remainder of the move/copy operation, preventing this window from popping up again.  Alternately, you may want to set an appropriate default action in the options window to prevent this window from appearing at all.
