'File already exists' - how to get around this?

[Leemac]

Hi,

Sometimes, files are already named correctly in a folder (particularly in TV season folders), but all it takes is one file to be correctly named to stop the whole folder being named correctly. Is there a way around this? Is there an option where I can select 'ignore files already correctly named/or overwrite all files'.

I know I am not the only person who has had this problem but I havent seen a clear answer yet.

Thanks - great app BTW!

Just DELETE the entry on either side and rematch.

Thanks but this may seem like a very stupid question but I have no idea how to delete the file on either side. I have tried pressing delete on the mac etc and nothing. Is there a shortcut? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Maybe I'm missing something, is the DELETE button different on Mac? I've never used one, just know that right-click can be trouble some.

Usually you'd just select one row on the left list, and then just hit the DEL key.

If that doesn't work you're gonna have to help me fix this on Mac by running a few tests .

EDIT:
Do Macs only have one DELETE button that's actually BACKSPACE? As opposed to DEL and BACKSPACE on normal keyboards?

Added keyboard shortcuts for DEL and BACK_SPACE (OSX DELETE).

Use the latest core jar and it should work:

Thank you. The update fixed the problem and allowed the 'delete' key on the mac keyboard to work with the app.

I'm playing around with expressions on my Synology via the CLI.

I'm also getting this error after a file has been renamed and I want to try another expression on the same file. Is there a parameter I can use to have this ignored?

Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

You mean when you run filebot -rename it'll fail and say that the destination file already exists?

You can use --action test to make it just do nothing whenever it would move/copy files, or use --conflict override which will make it override files instead of abort.

Will test it out, thank you!
