Description
Right now when copying a file to a folder, if the file name already exists a warning is shown with Abort/No to All/No/Yes to All/Yes. Another option that is sometimes useful is 'keep both', while renaming the file.
Finder's dialog box in this case is nicely designed:
Pressing 'Option' shows a 'Skip' option instead of 'Keep Both'.

No files or tests are identified in the issue. Start by locating the copy-to-folder flow that displays the Abort/No/Yes conflict warning, then trace how the existing and incoming names are handled. Done means the conflict dialog offers “Keep Both” and the copied file is renamed without overwriting the existing file.
