Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes, I need to make a copy of a file to change the extenison (e.g. fom .txt to .csv to view a table) or make a backup.
Most of the time this happens in the same folder. It is quite annyoing that each time the dialog pops up asking me if I want to replace the file or create a new name.

Describe the solution you'd like
Since the names are checked anyway, I’d like to see a full path check implemented, which recognizes that source and destination folder are identical and instead of asking to replace the file (which makes no sense in that case - why would I want to replace the file I just copied?) just automatically generates a new name.

Windows explorer does it this way, automatically generating a new file „... - Copy“ when source and dest are the same, otherwise asking if I want to replace the file or not.
