Digital BW, The Print

This would not be too bad to program, but it would slow the program down
considerably as the list of files in the monitored folder increases. Since
right now this check happens every second, I think people would complain.

I've decided to give you a chance to remove the duplicate file in the
Processed folder. If you don't remove it, folder monitoring will be stopped
so you can manually correct things. If you do remove it, processing will go
on as normal.
