fileadmin: duplicating files in the same directory
0%
Description
Problem: As an editor I have a text file in a subfolder of the fileadmin folder and I need a slightly different copy of it in the same directory. So I want to duplicate the file and edit it. File permissions are properly set and the file works fine.
Copy and paste does not work because the name would be the same. And while TYPO3 automatically adds suffixes to database entries when unique values are required it does not do so for file names in the fileadmin module. Other file system browsers add a suffix so the editor perceives this as a bug.
When I first copy the file to the clipboard and then rename it the file dissapeares from the clipboard. I can understand this behaviour because the source file is not there anymore. But again other file system browsers can handle this so the editor perceives this as a bug, too.
The result is that I have a paste button in the same directory that does not work and no paste button when it should work. And there is no dedicated button for duplicating files.
