Doing a batch import on a library with several folders, which contain duplicate file names does not import properly.

Example:

folder1/file1.mts
folder2/file1.mts
folder3/file1.mts

3 instances appear in FlamingoHD, all instances point to folder1/file1.mts.

FlamingoHD batch import problem

Hi there,

we're having trouble re-producing this error.

Are the duplicate filenames actually the same file? The Batch Import function will ignore duplicates (which are detected based on timestamp and filesize being identical).

We've set up a test where we have 3 different files, all named the same, in each folder. We then have a parent folder above that which we run the batch import from, e.g.

import_test
folder1/00001.MTS
folder2/00001.MTS
folder3/00001.MTS

This is working fine so far. Maybe send us in the FlamingoHD log file located under Library/Logs.

Thanks

Justin
