Auto suggestion for renaming

When moving one or several files to a folder with files with the same name in it, XnView displays the dialog "Replace existing file". This dialog offers to replace the existing file, rename the moved/copied files, to skip, or to cancel.

For renaming, there is an edittext for changing the existing filename in the dialog. It would be convenient if the user could define a default suffix in the options which is added to the suggested file name for renaming. That way, the user could simply press "Rename" and would be done.

Note: This suggestion is the translated wish from German user Gunnar.

XnView user "Gunnar" is still very interested in adding the above functionality.

Would other people find this useful?

Today I've received another mail of Mr. Gunsch. He's wondering whether there's any progress. I think until now nothing has happened.

I've received another mail of Gunnar (a bit enerving). Some reaction/answer/estimate from you (Pierre) would be good.
