When copying an entry the current behavior is to prepend "Copy of “. It would be better for users to append " Copy” to the name.
The Copy of prefix sorts neither to the end nor to the beginning of the list, and is almost never adjacent to the entry being copied.
Appending Copy to the name at least keeps the copy adjacent to the currently selected entry.
This behavior is consistent with how both Windows and MacOS handle file duplicates.
Hi @MalabarRed
Thanks for using Codebook and posting to the discussion forum with this suggestion. You make some good points about consistency with the way each OS handles duplicate filenames. I’m going to bring this up for discussion with the rest of the team. If it’s included in a future update, we’ll mention it in the release notes. Thanks!
Add my “me, too” in support of this! I’ve trained myself to look for the “copy of” in the list, but this suggestion makes perfect sense for user convenience - whether or not is also drives consistency with other practices.
YAY! Suggestion implemented in the latest update. THANKS SO MUCH
