🌟 🌟 🌟 The principle of handling duplicate file names🌟 🌟 🌟 - Due to UI limitations, this extension only provides two options (Cancel and Overwrite All) when it detects renamed files(folders).
- When you want to send a folder to the directory where its parent folder is located, if the file has the same name as the parent folder, it will be ignored (it will not be moved or copied).
- The files(folders) cannot be sent to the '/User' directory.
-
Sometimes Raycast does not detect the selected files (folders), this is Raycast's bug, you just need to restart Raycast.
