Right now, when copying a file to a folder (with a file with the same name already in it), copy is impossible as “it already exists”.
It would be nice to have the ability to auto-rename, like xyz.txt, xyz(1).txt, xyz(2).txt, etc. when identical names are detected.

You’re right. I think the problem has been addressed with this issue ticket:

Related to issue #9931.
It is not currently possible, but I'd love to be able… to duplicate a text file + re-name it to .md at the same time while using the copy menu. System notice that appears to the user is:
> Could not copy "Markdown Examples.txt"; target exists.
but it could become
> "Markdown Examples.txt" already exists; Do you want to Duplicate or Rename the copy?
My request is to allow users to duplicate (copy) and re-name a file within the Copy and Move menu when target already exists.
