Stopping Plex From Automatically Combining Movies

When one copies a movie to the movies directory and there is an existing movie with the same title (file name is different one each file, just the movie name/title is the same) plex combines the two movies into the same icon (it is possible to have dozens of movies that appear only to be a single copy). In order to have each copy of the movie to show separately one has to “split apart” the files, if you do not split them so you can watch the one you want, you only get to watch the one plex wants you to watch by default. . This is important as one may be 720 and the other 1080, obviously you want to watch the best one. Is there a way to set plex, by default, to NOT combine movies with the same name when it finds them in the directory?
