  If there are two or more files with the same name in a folder, an underline character "_" is displayed at the end of the file. Is there any way to get rid of it because it looks bad?
  
  
  
  
  Installation version (latest beta)

  How can more than one file in a folder have the same name under Windows file system ?
  Thats not possible, at least the extension must then be different.

  There cannot be two menu items with the same name. In fact, trying to create the second item would overwrite the existing one. The "_" is added automatically by QAP to avoid duplicate names.
  
  Horst answer is correct. If you deselect the option to hide file extensions in this live Folder, all items will be different and there will be no "_".

  I am just asking out of curiosity. It goes without saying that I am talking about files with the same name but different extensions. Either way it looks bad in this case. The question is whether in this case QAP could not hide these underline characters. QAP must process it but not necessarily display it.
  
  
  
  For comparison the view in Windows Explorer, as you can see Windows does not add superfluous characters to the end of the file name. Well, if you can't do it, so be it.

  OK, I understand

  I would like to bring back this topic. I have noticed that the problem is the same when the name of the containing folder is the same as the file.
  
     
     
  
  I am able to understand that QAP has a problem when there are several files with the same name (different extensions) in a folder but in this case it really is a bug (I think so).

  No this is the same issue: two menu items with the exact same name.

  Ah, ok I thought that was something new, thank you Jean for the clarification.
