If R‑Studio while recovering files encounters either an already existing file or file with a broken name, normally it will stop working and ask you what to do with the file. If you recover multiple files, that may require you answer a lot of the same questions. You may use Mass File Recovery Options on the Recover dialog box to instruct R‑Studio what to do in those cases for all files.
File Already Exists |
These options instruct R‑Studio what to do if there already exists a file with the same name. |

These options give you more flexible ways to process multiple files with the same name. You may compare files by time (Modified) and size, and decide what R‑Studio should do with those duplicates. If any of the files has an invalid time, the comparison by time is skipped. In this case, if comparison by size is not active, R‑Studio goes to the default action..

These options instruct R‑Studio which condition to use first, file time or size. |
