Allow to duplicate a file by copying it to the same directory

[sunjam]

Related to issue #9931.

It is not currently possible, but I'd love to be able to duplicate a text file + re-name it to .md at the same time while using the copy menu. System notice that appears to the user is:

Could not copy "Markdown Examples.txt"; target exists.

but it could become

"Markdown Examples.txt" already exists; Do you want to Duplicate or Rename the copy?

My request is to allow users to duplicate (copy) and re-name a file within the Copy and Move menu when target already exists.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #9428 (Move and Delete fail when file renamed after checking), #6190 (Sabre\DAV\Exception: Error while copying file to target location), #490 (Rename file logging from "ownCloud" to "file"), #710 (OCP\Files\NotFoundException but the file seems to exist), and #3206 (Add option to copy/duplicate files).

The need to make a copy of a file in the same folder is common. Is this on the roadmap yet?

This is still missing in NC21.0.2

This should work for folders as well.
