[Feature request] duplicate folder detection & user prompting for automatic folder renames #504

Open IAmABakuAMA opened 1 year ago

Say you're downloading a folder called "MegaBasterd" which contains file1, file2 and file3. Then a month later you download a completely separate folder also called "MegaBasterd" which contains file4, file5 and file 6, it puts everything into a single folder

I completely understand why it's like this. I'm not entirely sure how easy it would be to implement, but perhaps a feature where when it detects a folder with the same name in the downloads directory, it could ask the user whether they would like to merge the folders together, or rename it to something else. Perhaps there could also be an option in settings to either always merge together or always automatically rename for people who would prefer to not be prompted.

I can see why the current option of auto merging could work fine for some people. But I often download separate folders with the same name from completely different links and find it a little annoying when they get merged together because I forgot to delete the original folder and would really appreciate having an option.

Thanks
