So I was following this [guide](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/batch-change-the-folder-name-based-on-the-tags-of-the-files-inside-it/55079) to do the above. But I keep on getting a prompt when the origin folder is the same as the destination?

How do I to tell Mp3Tag to skip files/albums where the origin is the same as destination?

Thank you.

EDIT: I believe the prompt I get is from Windows itself.

EDIT2: Here's a sample screenshot of the prompt I get

You would have to use a naming scheme that does not produce existing file names.  
For further help it would be useful to see the format string that you use in Convert\>Tag-Tag and the extended tags dialogue for a typical file.  
"Typical" means: all the tag fields that you use in the format string are filled.
