Right now, Command-D duplicates a file (e.g. filename.ext) and gives it a default name (e.g. "filename (timestamp).ext").

It would be nice if this default name (or pattern) were customizable somehow. Maybe a preference setting that lets you specify a sprintf()-type string, with options like:

  • %f - current filename
  • %e - current extension
  • %t - timestamp

etc.. In this case, the default would be "%f (%t).%e" ... but you could easily change it to "%f.%e.OLD" or "%f.BAK" or anything else.

Thanks!

This is currently available only as a hidden preference. It should suit your needs, though.

Just noticed your response now ... but I can't see what the hidden preference is.

This is documented in Duplicate filename format.
