Silently merge folders rather than rename with _1 on the end

[TheGhost78]

Could you have the option to silently merge folders with the same name, which is the default behaviour in Windows, rather than add "_1" on the end of the second instance of that folder? For example, if I am folderising files, there is usually already a folder with that name.

Don't do it for files, just folders!

Hi, are you folderising also subfolders, which are then renamed with _1 ?

[TheGhost78]

Yes. So, for example, I have a parent folder named "2023" which contains a subfolder called "2023-12", which in turn contains its own subfolder called "2023-12-23".
I add some more pictures on the parent folder level, 2023; I use a saved .bru to copy the first few characters of the pictures' filenames up to the first space and use them as the new folder name, moving the files into the newly created folder "2023-12-23". I use a second .bru to then move the newly created subfolder, 2023-12-23, into the subfolder 2023-12. However, because 2023-12 already contains 2023-12-23 then it adds the new one as "2023-12-23_1" instead of merging.

First .bru for files, RegEx (1):
^(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}) (\d{2}.\d{2}.\d{2}) - (.+)
\1\\\1 \2 - \3

Second .bru for folders, RegEx (1):
^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})
\1-\2\\\1-\2-\3

If I do this to the files instead, at the parent folder level, and move the files directly to the sub-subfolder then it doesn't add the _1 on the 2023-12-23 folder.

RegEx (1):
^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}.\d{2}.\d{2}) - (.+)
\1-\2\\\1-\2-\3\\\1-\2-\3 \4 - \5

If there are duplicate filenames, then the newly moved files should still add "_1" on the end, which is the current behaviour.
