Hi. I am new here and with the software and I have a question.
I've been searching through the site and the forum and I cant find the answer. Here it is:
Is there an option to let XYplorer ask for a new file name during a copy or move action when a file with the same name already exists?
I've worked with Dolphin in KDE/Linux for quite some time and that software had that functionality. I can't find that functionality in any other software accept for Directory Opus which I find pretty expensive.
Maybe I missed it, or should I put it on under the 'Wishes' topics?

Re: Manual rename on copy over same filename
Hi and welcome to the XY forums!
It's maybe not quite as obvious as it could be -but- have you looked at "File Operations">"Custom Copy" in the Config?
And specifically via the "Configure" button for that option...take a look and see if that helps, ok?

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Hi and welcome,
no, there is no manual rename in case of collision. Nobody ever asked for it. Which surprises me somewhat. It seems like a natural thing to add. I put it on my list.

Re: Manual rename on copy over same filename
Thanks! It realy helps me out al lot!
I use it all the time.
Not to push, how long do I have to wait (aproxematly) before I can expect it in a new version?
Man, I'm exited...

Sorry, I'm not in the business of prediction.

Re: Manual rename on copy over same filename
No problem. I'm probably going to buy the lifetime licence in about two to three month's, when I have the money. For now I'm using the free version.
Thanx.
