Dedupe mode- rename

Help and Support
1

Trying to use dedupe interactive to rename files instead of deleting

but everytime I run it- the 2nd file will just get deleted instead of being renamed.

Have tried - rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode interactive "remote:"
also tried -rclone dedupe --dedupe-mode interactive "remote:" -i

Which also only gives options of deleting- see below-
rclone: delete "test.pdf"?
y) Yes, this is OK (default)
n) No, skip this
s) Skip all delete operations with no more questions
!) Do all delete operations with no more questions
q) Exit rclone now.

How can I get it to rename?

Can you recreate the issue and share a debug log file - command with -vv and share the full output?

From the docs

rename removes identical files then renames the rest to be different

If you have two identical files which have

  • identical file names
  • identical sizes
  • identical hashes

Then rclone will just remove one - no need to keep a copy of an identical file.
