Bug/Regression: Subfolders Not Created with Duplicate Names

Postby tally3 » Sat Feb 28, 2026 10:50 pm

Apologies if this is addressed elsewhere; I could not find it in a cursory search.

This was not previously an issue, however I don't know when exactly it changed except that after a recent clean install and download of BRU 4.1.0.1, sorting files into subfolders that have duplicate names no longer works as expected and that the only previous version that I could find, 3.4.4.0, does work as expected.

I am using it to sort photos into %Y\%m\%Y%m%d_%H%M%S specifically, but the problem generalized seems to be that if I want multiple (lets say 3) files to go to:
- Folder/Subfolder/File.txt
And "Prevent Duplicates" (Default) should produce:
- Folder/Subfolder/File.txt
- Folder/Subfolder/File_1.txt
- Folder/Subfolder/File_2.txt
In 3.4.4.0 this happens but in 4.1.0.1, instead this happens:
- Folder/Subfolder/File.txt
- Folder/File_1.txt
- Folder/File_2.txt

If I can help further, I'd be glad to. This is a terrific tool. Thanks for making it!
