XnView Software

Hi Guys,
was just wondering if there is "replace/overwrite" file dialog when xnview detecting the same file ?
Rather than just create another one and add "copy" into the file name?

Thank you.

yes you have a replace dialog when the file exists

Hi
I'm Sorry how to get the replace dialog to appear again?

Currently, it seems xnview MP automatically rename the file with "copy"

Thank you.

how do you try to replace file?

I have the same Problem.
When i copy Files and past form Folder 1 to folder 2 to find the add files in folder 2 (merge it) it only copy the files.
Normal in Finder or Explorer it ask me would like to replace the file?

In XnView MP Version 0.93.1 it only make a copy with the extension name "... - Copy.JPG"
In the Settings "General -> File Operations" i have disable "add copy for duplicates", but it always copy the File / Pictures.
For example form "DSC04812.JPG" to the name "DSC04812 - Copy.JPG"

Please fix it.

Many thanks

Dear Christian

when you drag&drop or Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V of a file in same folder, 'copy - ' will be added, no replace dialog is shown...

Hi,
So is there a way to replace existing file (without having adding _copy.jpg) ?

Kindly guide me.

Thank you.

currently no way

Up until now I had been exclusively using classic XNView, which does ask when copying. This post is 4 years old, are there any plans to add this functionality? Without it, MP is not nearly as useful for file operations.

Thanks!

standard behaviour of file managers

to reproduce
0. have 2 files with the same names in 2 folders
1. CTRL+C in one folder
2. CTRL+V in another folder
file will be copied and renamed without any warnings, so now there are 2 files in target folder

expected behaviour
Overwrite dialog shall appear
