Sending Camera folder to PC erases existing folder on PC #205

My new PC has Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, Warpinator v1.8.3
My Android phone has warpinator v1.7

Sending the folder "Camera" from my Android phone works. If I delete those files from the phone, take some more pics, then use warpinator to send the Camera folder to the PC, it wipes out the files that had previously been transferred to the PC.

"Require approval when files would be overwritten" is off. But it isn't overwriting files of same name, it is erasing existing files with different names.

I would expect the program to copy the new files into the target folder without deleting existing files

I have the exact same problem.

So warpinator should check whether the file to overwrite is a folder and if it is, just add the new files into it. However, can you thik of any situation where the user would expect the existing folder to be overwritten?
