Duplicate File

Help & Support
1

Hi,
Many times I'm finding myself duplicating files, using the regular Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V which works fine.
The one thing I would like to improve is changing the new of the new file. Right now the default behavior is: Copy of abc, and then Copy (2) of abc, etc.

the problem with that is "Copy of" changes the order of the files and doesn't put the new file next to the original one.

So I basically have 2 questions:

  1. Is it possible even to change that behavior? Copy/Paste will change the file name if already exists to abc (1), abc (2), etc.?
  2. What would be a command to produce that behavior? meaning, copying the selected file(s) to the same location, adding (1), (2), etc.

Thank you very much.

The name is already/automatically "abc - Copy", "abc - Copy (2)", etc. on my Windows 7 machine at least.

Me too. Also Windows 7.

They " - Copy" syntax has been around for a while now. In earlier versions it used to be "Copy of..." but that all pleasantly changed quite some time ago.

I'm also on Win 7x64.

Weirdly enough, I don't get this behavior, also running Windows 7 x64.

I'll search some Windows forums to see if there's a way to modify this.
Thanks.

What version of Opus are you running? The behaviour you describe happens with Opus 9 but not Opus 10.
