How to proceed, can't add a file

[timat10]

I'm a little confused as to why I can't go ahead and burn my DVD with 4 GB of DATA that took me an hour to compile. ImgBurn gives me an error that it cannot add a file because it's already there.  Why not?  What if I want the file there twice in two different folders?  I cannot locate the file it is talking about, because I got fed up and deleted it thinking that would fix the problem, but it didn't.  I removed the entire folder from ImgBurn, deleted the file in question, then added the folder back.  Still can't burn.  I read in a search to switch to advance mode and get the pretty box, but I don't see how that helps me as it doesn't show what I'm burning, just a Windows Explorer Folder hierarchy. How can I get rid of this error without having to start all over?

I don't see anywhere to add the log file when I go in to edit the post.  The log file no longer is viewable while burning, even though I have it configured to show.  key Ctrl + Shift + L. You can also use the menu system to reopen the log window doesn't work.

Thanks

Ok, I uninstalled ImgBurn and downloaded and installed the latest version.  It did give me back the ability to view the log file while building and burning, but I still get the error message and I see no way to upload or attach the log file which simply shows that the process failed. The message says that it can't add a file because it's already there, and it's not even there.  I deleted it before I even started the process. I really need to get this job done and can't understand why I can't burn.  Any help would be appreciated. I located the Log file easy enough, but how do you upload it here?  None of these buttons allow you to upload. I can paste it here, but it hasn't logged the last failure.

Thanks

Standard and Advanced input modes are 2 totally different things.

 

Adding files / folders to one mode doesn't mean it's then visible in the other. There's stuff you can do in Advanced mode that simply cannot be done / represented in Standard.

 

Now on to the conflicting files issue... you must be adding file from 2 folders that are ending up in the same folder on the disc.

 

i.e. if you drag 'c:\folder 1\file 1.txt' and 'c:\folder 2\file 1.text' over to the Source box in Standard input mode, both of those files will end up in the root folder of the disc - which of course can't happen as they have the same name. The 'Preserve Full Pathnames' option will get around that by recreating the *entire* folder structure of those files on the disc.

You could also just add folders to the source box rather than files, that's easier to manage and is really what that (basic) standard mode is for.

 

Advanced input mode makes it easier to see where things will end up on the disc.
