Copying files multiple times results in bogus names

[bernie]

1. drag a file from the journal to a volume
2. drag it again and again
3. open the volume

The copies will be called foo, foo_1, foo_1_2, foo_1_2_3, and so on.

This is not a bug but a future :) which exists, afaik, for several sugar releases. I guess we need to discuss changing existed behaviour widely on sugar-devel@.

I agree with alsroot. This is how things work in KDE and Gnome as well to prevent file clobbering.

Copying CC list from #2453.

My description of the problem was probably too vague.

This is the expected naming scheme: foo, foo_1, foo_2, foo_3, foo_4...

This is what we're doing instead: foo, foo_1, foo_1_2, foo_1_2_3, foo_1_2_3_4...

Thanks for the patch! However there already is a  patch for this issue, it just needs a clean-up of the authorship.

Sure. When you feel like closing a bug, you can just go ahead and do it. If the reporter or owner disagree, they can reopen it later.
