Idea: Rename file about to be replaced by Copy/Paste

(1/2) > >>

Gymratz:
This may exist, but I haven't found it...
I'm thinking that when I copy/paste a file from one location to another currently it only asks if I want to skip or overwrite.
A new item could be added to "Rename original file(s)."  Ideally this would accept wildcards so that you could either rename the entire file or just append to the end of it.

For example if I was to copy Test.txt and overwrite Test.txt, I would like to have it automatically change it to Test.txt.6.15.2009.

Teracopy does this, as do various file managers.

Gymratz:
Thanks!  I'll give it a try.

My current favourite NexusFile does: and it's extremely helpful  :D

Gymratz:
I'll have to try Nexus - TeraCopy renames the NEW file, which is not my hope.  I want to rename the OLD file.  Preferably with a defined name and not a standard _1, _2, _3 (but that would work too).
