Comment 1 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-06-03 12:07:17 EDT 
Another inconsistency,
Copy/Paste a file to the same directory, you get a rename dialog.
Ctrl-DND a file to the same directory, you get a copy of filename.

I suspect the problem here is that DND is not using 
CopyFilesAndFoldersOperation and CopyProjectOperation.
Comment 2 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-03 13:18:28 EDT 
Drag is wrong.  It should only generate a "Copy of" if copying a file over 
itself (ie. same path, not same name).  It should never generate a "Copy of" 
for folders, but should merge as does Paste.
Comment 3 Nick Edgar CLA 2002-06-03 13:27:26 EDT 
For the second case, DND should also prompt to rename.
