Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

When copying files to a location where the file name(s) already exist, the existing options are skip and clobber.

Describe the solution you'd like

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

There should also be an option to auto-rename the files, e.g. like file(1).txt, which is how ES File Explorer does it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Use ES File Explorer, although I would love a maintained, non-adware and open source application have this feature.

Research direction

Locate the file-copy logic that handles name collisions and the existing skip and clobber options. Review how a collision choice is exposed in the Android interface, then verify that selecting auto-rename preserves both files with distinct names such as file(1).txt.
