Posted December 10, 2008 How can I stop that? What about saving that file with some sort of a suffix(postfix)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 13, 2008 Ok, so let's say I'm searching for some pictures, after the search I get around 200 pictures and I want to download them all. I select all of them and I right-click on download. Some of these pictures have the same name, but even though they are different, they have different contain, different sizes, ApexDC++ overwrites them. So this means that i'm losing files. What shall I do? Please don't tell me to manually create a folder and download files with the same name in different folders because this is a pain in the a## when dealing with a large number of files.

Posted December 13, 2008 Cool, now I understand you much better Unless there is a bug somewhere ApexDC++ should not add a file to the queue with the same name as an already existing filename (this applies to both filenames in the queue and in the final download location). Apex should issue error messages like : A file with the same hash already exists in your share A file with diffent tth root already exists in the queue A file of equal or larger size already exists at the target location So if you want to download multiple files with the same name, at the moment you must save them to different folders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 13, 2008 Isn't there a way to make Apex rename that file with a postfix or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 15, 2008 Imagine trying to download 500 files and 100 of them having the same name and different content......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2008 I can imagine that can be a pain, i cant imagine doing it tho, but that's different matter I dont have any good suggestions right now that I could see as a working solution. Unless you cant download whole folders from ppl instead of just loads of files? If their folders have different names it will work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
