[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add default filenames (.copy-xx) to cloned documents (#1191)

[elextr]

My filemanager names copies you paste in the same directory as "filename(copy).ext" "filename(another copy).ext" "filename(3rd copy).ext" and there I got too bored to see what it did at 10 :) 

I'm not sure this is really enough of a problem to need code added for it, do a lot of users clone files all the time?  Just not sure it is needed.


Two comments on the implementation:

1) it is touching the filesystem to check the existence of the selected filename, which is fine if its a fast local SSD, but not so much for a remote SSHFS directory.

2) AFAICT it also changes the readonly behaviour, please do not include extra things in an implementation  not described in the PR.

PS and extra :)

3) probably needs user documentation :)
