#5620 closed enhancement (worksforme)
Customize the name for duplicated files

Description
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!

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

Replying to http://colinviebrock.myopenid.com/:

This is documented in Duplicate filename format.
This is currently available only as a hidden preference. It should suit your needs, though.
