[QUOTE="bidwin, post: 1897556, member: 270783"] I'm about to replace an old MacBook Pro that has files, virtually all photo files, that have the same name but are actually different files. I found this situation by accident while using Duplicate File Detective. The files are stored in Photos and in various folders on one of two internal hard drives, but I want to consolidate them on my new MBP. My first thought was to create a script to change the file name by adding a sequential number or the file's creation date to the file name (after I teach myself how to write a script :unsure:), but I'm open to any suggestions on how to accomplish my objective. And I promise to be a better file manager with my new MBP! :a [/QUOTE]
