Title: copy folder don't work
Post by: Dpmusicbee on May 07, 2020, 06:51:41 PM

Hi

after i edit a file and try the copy folder option in mb it won't overwrite the file going to the main drive with a new copy. i'm coping from one drive to another with the same file info. i have to delete the old file from the main drive after the file is moved. any rhythm or reason this would be happening.

Thanks

Dbee

I think MusicBee is (wisely) cautious about overwriting files. If you use "copy to organized folder" there's an option to overwrite existing files.

Select the file(s) > right-click > send to > Folder (Move)[or Folder (Copy) [or Folder (Replace)]
