If I have Folder X (with files 1 and 2) and Folder Y (also files 1 and 2) and I flatten the folders, can I copy to a few folder AND rename the final files to combine folder + filename, e.g., X1, X2, Y1, Y2? Thanks.
Rename with folder + file name

Sorry, Beyond Compare doesn't provide a method to rename during a copy. You'll need to rename before you copy files using Beyond Compare.
If you want to keep a copy of both files but don't need to include the foldername in the new name, you can turn on backups in Beyond Compare.
To turn on backups in Beyond Compare 3:
Open Tools > Options.
Go to the Backups section.
Check Backup files before copy.
Select a renaming scheme for the old file, such as Backup "abc.txt" as abc.~txt.

Hello,
The Backup tab has pre-set naming schemes; you would have to select one of these.
If using a manual Rename command on a selection of files, you could use something like (assuming extension is 3 characters exactly):
Regular Expression
(.*)\.(.{3})
to
$1-1.$2
Please note that BC4 does not support an UNDO command, so please test the rename with test folders first before using on your live data.Aaron P Scooter SoftwareComment
