About duplicate images and the display thereof

When you attempt to sort an image into a location that already has a file of the same name, the existing file is displayed between the sorting buttons and the file list in GAPS' drawer. You may choose one of four actions while a duplicate image is displayed:

  1. Rename the new image and try to move it again with the new name.
  2. Delete the new image and leave the existing image in its sorted location.
  3. Cancel duplicate display and return to the current image (at which point you could choose a new location for the image, delete it, or skip it and move on to another image).
  4. Overwrite the existing image with the newer one.

Key mappings for duplicate actions

When a duplicate image is displayed, all of the on-screen sorting buttons and most of your key mappings are disabled. You must take care of the duplicate (or cancel) before you can do anything else. In order to dispatch a duplicate image, you may one of the four on-screen buttons that appear under the duplicate image.

You may also use one the following key mappings to choose a duplicate action:

  1. [Any sorting destination] -- Any key you have mapped to sort an image to a folder will function as the 'Rename' action.
  2. Delete -- Any key you have mapped to 'Delete Current Image' will act as the 'Delete' action.
  3. Next Image -- Any key mapped to 'Next Image' will cancel duplicate display and return you to the current image.
  4. Previous Image -- Any key mapped to 'Previous Image' will overwrite the existing image with the new one.
