Multiple .ovpn's with same name are not (yet) supported even if they are in different folders. Only one of them will be displayed in the menu --- except for a period when new configs are added while connections are active, as purging the menu is delayed in that case.

You will see a warning saying "duplicate" configs have been ignored when you start/restart the GUI.

This behaviour has its origins from the time when all configs used to be in the same folder. Changing it involves some work and has not been a priority. For now, you'll have to rename the config file.
