Auto-name accepted incoming file transfers when a file of the same name exists, Safari-style

[gigabizzle@gmail.com]

I understand some people like to be prompted to enter a unique filename when a transfer occurs. But there are situations where being prompted is undesirable. ie:

Often I am AFK when a client sends me a file. They use the same filename, make a change, and then resend it later. If I'm not there, Adium will prompt me to manually enter a unique filename, causing the transfer to time out. By the time I get back, the person is gone.

In some applications, such as Safari, if a file exists in the download directory, it will smartly choose a new name for the new file. ie:

Existing file: hello.zip New filename: hello.1.zip If that file exists, use: hello.2.zip (etc)...

I realize some people dislike that, but others appreciate not being prompted.

For some of us, receiving the file itself is more important than whether it has a 1 or a 2 or a 3 appended to the name.

I'm not asking that the behaviour be changed entirely. I'm just asking for a preference in Adium for those of us that would rather never be prompted for filenames during file transfers: Auto-rename duplicate files? [x] or [_]

This would not be a preference; I agree that it should be done automatically when auto-accept is on.

(In [12701]) When autoaccepting a file transfer, if a file of the same name already exists, we now append -1, -2, and so on to the main part of the file name to get a unique name. (For example MyFile.jpg exists, so we save to MyFile-1.jpg). Closes #734.
