Description Eduardo Sanchez 2020-10-20 15:50:54 UTC
Thanks for developing Claws Mail. Using right now 3.17.8 under Slackware 64-bit current.

Someone sent me an email message with a large number of attachments. Problem is, some of these attached files, despite being different from each other, have the same file name.

I wanted to save all files to a directory but then I was asked if I wanted to overwrite file xxx. This is because a second file had the same file name than a first one. I had no other options more than Cancel or Skip.

I would suggest if you could devise an automatic scheme for renaming such files in this way:

1st name occurrence: xxxx
2nd name occurrence: xxxx_1
3rd name occurrence: xxxx_2

and so on, or something similar.

Thanks in advance!
