Hi everyone,


I’m trying to read the contents of a folder to identify all file geodatabases (GDBs) and the feature classes stored within them. However, when feature classes with the same name exist in different GDBs

, they appear only once in the schema 

Has anyone encountered this before, and what is the best way to handle or distinguish feature classes with identical names across multiple GDBs?

Reattached sample workspace as the original got lost in migration :)

Nice solution ​@nielsgerrits. Definitely something that would be very handy for me as well.
