Description Thomas Preisler 2010-12-03 22:31:59 UTC 
We are following the same model as Java does (in non-refactoring mode) when a file is copied (or moved, dropped, ...) into another project, 

- If file doesn't exist in target project, the file is moved over with existing name.

- If file do exist in target project, a unique name is created and file is moved over with that new name.

We could improve this:

1) open a dialog and ask in which target folder you want to copy/move the file to. Right now it is copied/moved into the project folder. You can always move it into desired folder afterwards.

2) ask to refactor the file similary to how Java does. Not sure we can do any meaningful refactoring though.
