I often use the Finder to Copy a bunch of files from my iMac's internal hard
drive to some external device. Occasionally an error message pops up that says
'An item named "" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it
with the one you're moving?' The error message sometimes includes a dot for
the name of a problem file (".").
When this error occurs with a bunch of files, I have found no easy way to
determine what the real filename is or which application created that file.
Some of the files being copied were created from webpages saved from Safari,
but most of them are text files created by Text Edit in its rtf mode (but
without the extension .rtf).
I never saw this error before I started using Lion.
Has anyone seen similar behavior in Finder Copy? Does anyone know what to do
about it?
