1. in folder f create a file a.txt 2. copy it to folder g 3. dnd to f - you're asked 'overwrite?' (inconsistent with windows Explorer) 4. say cancel 5. select a.txt in f 6. copy 7. select f 8. paste - it creates Copy of a.txt copying over the same folder should always create Copy Of without prompting
These two cases are different. In the first, you're copying a different file with the same name. In the second, you're copying the same file to the same place. In the first, it should always prompt (same for Copy and D&D). In the second, it should always generate a Copy of (same for Copy and D&D). Windows Explorer works the same way. However, we do have a problem if you drag-copy f/a.txt to f. We currently prompt to replace. We should generate a Copy of.
Currently in step 8 we prompt to overwrite instead of creating "Copy of". This is deliberately different from Windows Explorer and was discussed in a different PR.
Actually, in step 8, copying a file to the same path, we prompt for a new name. The new name is preset to Copy of. We do *not* automatically create a Copy of. This works the same way when drag copying. See bug 16907 for the copy/move resource spec. Drag copying and clipboard based copying was made consistent as part of fixing bug 16500.
