In the web interface, when moving one of more folders to a new location where some folders, with the same name, already exist, the interface returns a rather frightening error message, for the end user, that says

'<foldername>' could not be moved because of an I/O error.

Whilst we are using version 2.0 of Filr I have directly confirmed with Filr support this error is also given to the user in version 3.0. What would be good would be for Filr to handle this a little better and simply report that the folder couldn't be moved as there is already a folder with the same name in the destination.

• The error message is way to brutal, so it gets my vote to. Just notify that the folder/file with the same name is already there.

• With filr 3.4 I get an error that the folder "could not be moved because that name already exists.

• Thanks Robin for checking this.
  
  Mattias/James/Graham, can you check and confirm this on Filr 3.4?

• Note that we have ensured that the move fails with appropriate message in new/beta Web Client too
