Khaled: Another one [https://i.imgur.com/6U4A461.png] Please fucking explain why this is a problem. I have a folder with movies on an external HDD. I want to move them to a different subfolder. The first twenty worked fine without any issues - as expected. Then I get this error, and it doesn’t tell me why in a human language that can be understood by humans. So, I’ll go ahead and ask here. Do any of you have any idea wtf this is? I’m on Fedora 38.

That error is saying you’re trying to move/rename the file to a name that’s already being used. Can’t do that on windows either.

That said, I’ve seen some weird issues with bulk file copies in Linux file explorers. Cli usually works better.

Booted into Windows and it moved everything just fine. Case closed.

Glad you figured out something that worked for you. Don’t be such a dick next time and you’ll find everyone will be more helpful.
