It kind of make sense, though. In preparation of moving into the folder is checks whether there is a file of the same name already, and if so makes the file name unique by adding a number to it.

But you do also make sense, that they should perhaps check if the target folder is the same as the original folder, and just cancel the operation if they’re the same.

Yes, from a technical standpoint I see how this is happening. From a user standpoint this doesn’t make any sense.
