'Folder already with that name' wouldn't let go
Posted: 28 Dec 2013 18:14
Had a weird thing happen that I assumed was Windows (8.1) but thought worth asking. Let's say I have the following folders:
- Jones
- Jones Today
- Jones Yesterday
- Smith
- [other folders]
I want to combine the Jones folders and absent-mindedly try to create a new one to do that called "Jones." So I get a dialog box telling me it's a duplicate and asking me if I want to combine the existing one with the new one. I don't want to and so click Cancel. Then I click on the Smith folder. The same Jones dialog box comes up, and does repeatedly no matter what other folders I click on. The only way out is to close and reopen XYplorer. Is that Windows or XYplorer (13.50) that won't let go?
