Description Paul Austin CLA 2021-07-23 09:47:14 EDT 
Can you change the copy files functions so that the suggested new name is the original name? Right now it adds a number or some other suffix or prefix to file. Which means the user has to go and remove that extra text if they wanted to tweak the name in some other way.

Taking a more extreme example:

00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000004.json

The suggested name by eclipse is

00000000-0000-0000-0000-5.json

So if I wanted the following I have to remember how many 0's to add back in.

00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000005.json

In my many years of using eclipse I have never needed a filename with say 2 added to the end of it.

Maybe for backwards compatibility have it as a preference.

Thanks,
Paul
