[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1897559, member: 396914"] I think (you can experiment with one to see) that if you try to overwrite a file with another of the same name using Finder, you will be asked if you want to overwrite or keep both. Tell it to keep both and you will end up with two files--filename and filename1. I think there is also a button or checkbox to say, basically, apply to all so you can move a bunch at a time and have the same decision for all of them. I'm not where I can experiment right now, but you can try it by creating a new folder with some name like "Testing" and put a few files in it, then copy the files from the old MBP to the new with the same names and see if you get the option I am describing. If so, you don't need a script, just select what you want to move and go! [/QUOTE]
