Description Iain MacDonald 2012-08-05 19:23:57 CEST
Assuming that the file order is name based.

When Copying and Pasting a file into the same directory or using Duplicate the copied file is prefixed "copy of". It would make locating the duplicated file more convenient if the copied file was suffixed with "copy of" instead of prefixed.

suffixing it would just turn it into broken english, eg: 'copy of file' vs 'file copy of'

i would prefer it much more if it suffix a number to it like other file manager, eg: 'file (1)'

it would also make it not need so much conditions like 'another copy of file', 'third copy of file', '*th copy of file', it should just be something simple like 'file (2)', 'file (3)', file (*)
