I'm new so I don't know if this is already an option somewhere, but some wiki searching and reading of all the options in the guide I couldn't find it. Might also be a bug or undesired behavior, but it's present in the 8.5.1 install version and the 8.5 and 8.4 portables for me (Win10 Pro x64).
Desired Use Case: I'm trying to setup a self-sorting folder system using the folder monitoring feature set to "Immediate on-change" and selecting a single parent folder as both the monitored and sort folder.
Current Behavior: When it moves a file to a subfolder it then recognizes that as a change to the monitored folder and tries to move it again, conflicting with itself. If it alters it in some way, for instance through the "automatic choice for duplicates" set to "rename", it will keep repeating this process indefinitely, adding progressively more to the name.
Desired Behavior: An option can be selected so that when scanning and moving files, if the source filepath matches the destination filepath, the file is ignored and no action is taken.
Possible Workaround: I could just block subfolders from being accessed (though I submitted a bug report that it isn't working for me on 8.5.1) but that would prevent it from automatically sorting any file from any subfolder into it's correct location and would only sort files in the parent directory. Same problem with using a separate folder as an ingest, it would not sort any files added into the directory nor would it automatically sort it in response to changes in associations.
