Description segers 2002-11-05 21:44:05 UTC 
I would like Pan to overwrite same name attachments from one group
(alt.binaries.emulators.mame).  I like the fact that it does not default to
this activity, but I would like the option to do so.  I would like a
checkbox to this effect in the group properties dialog (right click on the
group name and choose properties).  Perhaps a "do it to all groups on all
servers" in the preferences dialog with info to point you to the other
place would also be good.

As an alternate solution which is probably easier to implement, how
about making the filename modification something easy to grep for like
"_copy_<number>" instead of the current "_<number>".  I'll go see if I
can do it, and post a patch if I can (I am not a programmer).

What problem does this feature solve? :)
Comment 4 segers 2002-12-01 21:00:30 UTC 
I am downloading from alt.binaries.emulators.mame and I need a way to
remove the copies, but some of the files I want to keep have an
underscore in their name.  My patch allows an easy way to get rid of
duplicates in this situation (rm *_copy_*)
Comment 5 Charles Kerr 2002-12-02 16:36:45 UTC 
Okay, makes sense.
