Change the Finder's default name for duplicated files
Authored by: Fairly on Sep 05, '07 01:59:25PM

1. Not everyone needs to get into English.lproj. Some countries remain sufficiently independent to dare use their own languages.

2. I don't know what Finder's role in all this is but it's obviously not using the system wide APIs which normally control this. Probably because it's still not "native" (Cocoa). But this duplication thing is in the system actually. There are myriad cases where the system will duplicate things and this change in the strings file won't affect them.

3. Maybe you didn't notice that there were similar strings for the trash and for HFS+ aliases?

4. Good job otherwise!

Hints here will *always* assume English.lproj -- it would simply overcomplicate matters to have to explain the language structure of OS X every time I posted a hint regarding English.lproj.

Users who are using other than English as their system language should certainly realize that they will need to edit the proper file in the folder corresponding to their chosen language.
