Everything and MTP windows explorer showing dupes x 2

[anmac1789]

hello, I just encountered something really bizarre. I have a iphone 6 plugged into my PC and it's showing duplicate files with the same name inside the same folder. I thought that's not allowed in windows. if I see this directory under everything then the number of files is cut in half. What is going on here ? Even in iphone 6 it's showing the same number of files and each file has a duplicate with +1 minute.

Virtual folders can have duplicated names (Display Name)

For example, the recycle bin:
Create foo.txt on the Desktop.
Delete foo.txt
Create foo.txt on the Desktop.
Delete foo.txt

The recycle bin will now have two items called foo.txt



Everything doesn't allow duplicated names.
Only one will be shown.

Yes, your "This PC\Apple iPhone" is a virtual folder.

Virtual folders can be indexed under Tools -> Options -> Folders.

Will there be a feature made to show multiple files or folders with the same name in virtual folders such as when connecting using iphone/android ?
