Hello.
I want to request a feature for the Cp command that consist in
renaming a file from the source when a file in the destination
directory with the same name already exists. I am thought It could be
something like: from file.jpg to file-1.jpg.
This behavior already exists in Web browsers and file managers.
Thanks.
Also, I know about the backup argument but it makes the file not being
possible to use by some programs without being renamed.

This issue has been marked as needing more information from the
submitter for quite a while. The last was 246 days ago on 24 Apr 2010.
Without any more input this issue cannot make progress. Therefore I
am closing the bug report.
Note that I think there may be something there with the enhancement
request.

I think that could be a useful feature. But it would need someone to
work on it and it would need a good statement of the feature. Drake's
summary and example looked like a good place to start. But it isn't a
trivial feature to implement and some cases will cause trouble.
