$(cpicName) Help - File Rename/Overwrite

Rename / Overwrite gives options for overwriting files. This window appears when you are performing an operation which needs to save a file, but a file with that name already exists. From this window you can access 's powerful Automatic Rename feature. | --></phtml>

File Rename / Overwrite Window The Rename / Overwrite window appears when you are trying to copy or place files into a folder where files with that name already exist. will display this window if the name of the files are the same, but the content is different.

This allows you to decide which files are overwritten, which are renamed, and which are skipped when conflicts occur.

Source File The file listed here is the new file your are trying to copy from. Target Location The target file is the existing file which has the same name as the source file. | </phtml>

Manual Duplicate Handling

Manual Duplicate Handling allows you to manually select the best option for each file. If you make a selection in this area, the action you choose will be applied to the current file only. If another file conflicts, the window will reappear for that file. | --></phtml>

Rename

</phtml>
To rename the current file, enter a new name in the field marked 'New name for this file.' Once your name is entered, click the 'Rename' button. Clicking this button will save the file using the new name which you specify in the text field of this window. The process will resume with the next file in the sequence.

Auto - Rename File
The Auto-Rename File will automatically rename this one file, allowing you control over what happens with

Overwrite File
The original file (the target file) will be deleted, and the new file will be saved in it's place. The process will resume with the next file in the sequence.

Skip File
Nothing will happen - the new file will not be saved, and the old file will be left as is. The process will resume with the next file in the sequence.

Cancel All
The entire process will be canceled. The current file will not be saved, the operation will stop.

Automatic Duplicate Handling

Automatic Duplicate Handling is a powerful feature for handling large numbers of files without having to manually select an option for each file. The Automatic Duplicate Handling allows you to specify how you want all files to be handled. will then process each file without the need for further instruction. | --></phtml>

Auto-Rename All
The Auto-Rename All action activates 's automatic renaming function. Each file being copied which conflicts with an existing file will be renamed. will determine if there is an existing naming style, and rename the file appropriately.

For example, if you have ten images, each named image01.jpg, image02.jpg ... image10.jpg, and you are copying a file which conflicts with image06.jpg, the automatic rename feature will save the new file as image11.jpg.

Each file is handled independently of the others, so if you have several different naming conventions in use, will rename each file according to that file's naming convention.

Overwrite All
When the Overwrite All action is selected, the conflicting target files will be overwritten automatically by the source files being copied. The target files will be lost.

Skip All
If the Skip All action is selected, any files which conflict with an existing file will be skipped. These files will not be copied, and the existing target files will remain intact.

Cancel All
The entire process will be canceled. The current file will not be saved, the operation will stop. (This has the same effect as 'Cancel All' under Manual Renaming.)
