Change the Finder's default name for duplicated files
Authored by: mantrid on Sep 04, '07 07:54:48AM

I hate the fact that everything comes with extensions now. "File" and "File copy" or "Folder" and "Folder alias" worked quite well in the old days. It's the presence of the extensions that make everything look awkward. Not that this comment had anything to do with the hint.

The nice thing about the current arrangement is that by adding a space + copy to the end, the original and the copy are likely to remain together in any alphabetical sorting scheme so that the copy could be moved or renamed easily. Adding to the beginning will likely cause them to separate, which might add the need for a scrolling step.

Still, it's nice to know they can be changed.
