Description Vladimir Riha 2012-01-06 07:55:42 UTC 
Not really sure to which product/component this should belong.

Generally, if you copy some file in NetBeans and paste it, it is renamed to "originalName_1". Would be great that instead of this renaming, a dialog was shown (with prefilled originalName_1) and I was able to either just confirm it or to write custom name.
Comment 1 Jaroslav Tulach 2012-01-10 09:10:00 UTC 
I would find that behavior annoying. There is going to be new "copy refactoring" (whatever that means) in 7.2.

If you want to play with the code, the change would be somewhere in

Comment 2 Vladimir Riha 2012-01-10 09:19:47 UTC 
OK, if you think so. But I can't imagine why it would be more annoying than current approach since the new name with "_1" is not really usefull and I guess a lot of users rename it instantly anyway (for example for html, css, js files and so on)
