Feature: Preserve file extension when duplicating files #45
Comments
Hello, @Epigene, Sorry for delay. By default, the extension remains unchanged.
But if the extension does not match the original one, it will be changed:
Do you want the file extension to be displayed completely always? |
I never realised that is the behaviour. 😅 |
Hi, thanks for the extension! It looks like duplication doesn't work as expected if the filename contains more than one period (which is not an uncommon idiom in the *nix world). How to reproduce:
Expected filename: |
IMO a better option (if possible with Code APIs) would be to preserve extension(s) while selecting the filename part in the prompt, i. e. for file
I can work out a PR if this kind of functionality is okay with you. |

Wrongly opened issue in VSC repo: microsoft/vscode#44254
Needed behavior:
When duplicating a file it would be nice to have it append the "-copy" just before the file extension.
Current behavior:
Duplication overrides file extension with "-copy".
Discussion:
As can be seen in the example image below, I choose to duplicate a file named "calendar.apib" and the default duplicate file-name is "calendar-copy" where "calendar-copy.apib" would be much more useful.
