Enum FIfExists

What to do if the destination directory contains a file or directory with the same name as the source file or directory when copying, moving or renaming. Used with filesystem.copy, filesystem.move and similar functions. When renaming or moving, if the destination is the same as the source, these options are ignored and the destination is simply renamed. For example when renaming "file.txt" to "FILE.TXT".
