Change the Finder's default name for duplicated files
Authored by: beepotato on Sep 04, '07 01:52:28PM

Well, filename extensions DO have to do with this hint, since the author of the hint cites them as part of the reason why it is "a bit more of a pain" to rename file duplicates.

Which I actually do not completely agree with: since deleting the extension while renaming in the Finder does not actually remove the extension from the name but merely hides it, just delete it at the same time you delete the "copy" at the end of the name.
Except of course if you checked the option to always show extensions in the Finder… but then you would have to be really in love with those stupid extensions in order to do that. ;-P

This is not always true; however the original poster was 99% spot on and the other commenter here was abusive.
