Description
History: refer https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=2424201#p2424201
My new PC has Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, Warpinator v1.8.3
My Android phone has warpinator v1.7
Sending the folder "Camera" from my Android phone works. If I delete those files from the phone, take some more pics, then use warpinator to send the Camera folder to the PC, it wipes out the files that had previously been transferred to the PC.
"Require approval when files would be overwritten" is off. But it isn't overwriting files of same name, it is erasing existing files with different names.
I would expect the program to copy the new files into the target folder without deleting existing files

Reproduce the transfer using an Android phone's Camera folder and Warpinator on Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, following the sequence described in the issue. Trace the folder-transfer handling and verify completion by confirming that a second transfer preserves previously copied files with different names.
