Description Oliver Grimm 2005-09-29 22:55:57 UTC 
Version:           1.60 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
OS:                Linux

When writing longer documents with LaTeX I am used to finish my file names with a version number like "foofile_v13", "foofile_v14" etc. For increasing the version number I start Krusader, select "foofile_v13" and do a copy&paste. At this point Krusader prompts me for a new file name. There is button "propose new file name" which always just adds a "1" to the old file name. Obviously this does not make much sense in my case since the successor version of "v13" is not "v131" but "v14".

Thus, my proposal is to add the following feature:
When Krusader proposes a new name for a file name which has a numeric ending it should just increase that number by one.

This is already similarly solved by KIO. The "File Already exists" dialog shows as default the old file name and "Suggest New Name" button. The action here is to suggest
"old_name.txt" -> "old_name (1).txt"
and further
"old_name (1).txt" -> "old_name (2).txt"
"old_name (2).txt" -> "old_name (3).txt"
and so on...
