in reply to Flattening a directory tree in a filesystem

"...functionality to handle potential namespace collisions, but that seems much more simple."

Shure, may be it's simple. I wonder how i would do that. Perhaps adding a GUID to each file with the same name?

foo.pl.e891346b-a18e-43eb-bd6c-fa6267c568e3 foo.pl.6b97a88c-e742-43c3-9f71-a004685be89e foo.pl.1b7b0031-981f-4ac0-a0c5-5582735528c8 foo.pl.d82d0bcc-26b5-4b8d-9fa1-950f2b27d2b3 foo.pl.bb388fbf-f8a6-4511-93ce-f6d2b737cf00 ...

Perhaps there are many thousands more with the same name but different content, who knows...

And know? Not very convinient and practical if one needs to do further processing on this files. Looks a bit like LOST+FOUND ;-)

Best regards, Karl
