Add a button for duplicating files or folders in the Media Manager menu bar.
Single item selection:
If a file or folder is selected, the user is prompted for the new name of the duplicated file/folder.
Multiple item selection:
If multiple files and/or folders are selected, a warning is displayed to the user that the files/folders will be duplicated with an automatically generated name.
Automatically generated names :
"-x" is added to the name of the item to be duplicated, where x is a numeric counter.
The folder where the item is located is scanned for occurrences with identical names.
For example, myfile.pdf will give myfile-1.pdf.
If myfile-1.pdf is already present, then the new name will be myfile-2.pdf.
"_x" is added to the name of the item to be duplicated, where x is a numeric counter.
The folder where the item is located is scanned for occurrences with identical names.
For example, myfile.pdf will give myfile_1.pdf.
If myfile_1.pdf is already present, then the new name will be myfile_2.pdf.
If myfile_1.pdf and myfile_4.pdf is already present, then the new name will be myfile_5.pdf.
@LukeTowers the golden question!
I don't remember to have make that test.
It use storage facade copy method witch is just a return of the PHP native one.
The php copy manual says:
Warning
If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
So I think it may be the same here.
Test needed and if it's the case, maybe ask the user to confirm the overwrite?
@LukeTowers I can confirm that a file with the same name is overwritten.
What solution do you plan to use to solve this problem?
An alert informing the user/requesting his confirmation, a return with no action other than a flash message?
@damsfx I would say probably start with just throwing an ApplicationException which will popup the error. I'm not sure how we're currently handling it in the rename popup and / or on file upload, maybe take a quick look there and then we can standardize across all three?
@damsfx thats what I thought, I think there was an issue at some point to fix that by auto renaming to the suffixed form, any thoughts on the approach that we should take for all of the scenarios so that we can standardize on that? I think the options are:
Do nothing and silently allow the replacement
throw an applicationexception refusing to overwrite an existing file
allow the file put but force a rename to an auto suffixed filename
present a dialog offering the choice to the user
The last option is slightly more difficult to implement but I think is the best option. Do you have any other thoughts or perhaps any options I missed?
Also would like to get input from any of the other maintainers if they're available (@bennothommo, @mjauvin, @jaxwilko).
I agree with @mjauvin. It's the least intrusive and destructive. If someone wants to be clever with their naming, they will most certainly be skilled enough to find the file with an additional suffix.
The way it's typically handled in OS level file managers is to present a dialog that asks the user if they want to Replace, Keep Both (auto rename), or Cancel. That would be my preferred way to handle it here, but I'm also fine with defaulting to Keep Both if that's easier to implement to start with.
@LukeTowers , @mjauvin , @bennothommo
Would you prefer this PR to include the changes so that the existing files are no longer overwritten by the uploaded/renamed/duplicated files, or would you prefer this to be done at a later date with a new PR?
@AIC-BV As a user likely to use this function a lot, what are your feelings about overwriting files already present with the same name (see previous messages)?
@AIC-BV As a user likely to use this function a lot, what are your feelings about overwriting files already present with the same name (see previous messages)?
It can work both ways but I think that the correct way, or the expected UX default behaviour, is to not automatically overwrite it.
Preventing accidental data loss is the most important.
Overwriting it is a risk, like you said above, and I think you should avoid risk if you can choose to.
When you do this in Windows File Explorer it automatically changes the name to 'filename - Copy' which makes sense to me. Just like you did with the _1, _2, _3, ...
It is up to the content creater to name the files correct, or remove the duplicate ones.
For me it doesn't need a popup, just the 'version' behind the string.
A popup can work too but that is not the default file explorer behaviour, but perhaps its different on Mac

Walkthrough
The media library adds operations to duplicate files and folders with incremented names. Backend handlers support single-item and batch duplication, validate requests, avoid overwriting existing paths, and refresh the item list. The media manager adds a duplicate form, toolbar action, selection workflows, and English and French translations.
File duplication can fail with the locked dependency. Name collisions can produce an unexpected filename, while storage failures can appear successful. Resolve these issues before merging.

Check the copyFile() result before firing the duplicate event.
onDuplicateItem() ignores the boolean that MediaLibrary::copyFile() returns. When the storage copy fails and returns false, the handler still fires media.file.duplicate, clears the cache, and returns the refreshed item list as a success. Listeners then receive a duplicate event for a copy that does not exist. The user sees no error, and the list does not show a new item.
A missing source file can reach this path. The handler does not check that the source exists, so a stale listing can request a file that was removed elsewhere.
Check the return value and stop before the event fires. Throw an ApplicationException with an existing error message when the copy fails. Apply the same check to the SVG branch, because it can also return false.

Handle a failed file batch before emitting duplicate events.
MediaLibrary::duplicateFiles() returns false when a storage copy fails. onDuplicateItems() ignores that result, emits media.file.duplicate for every requested file, and returns the refreshed item list as a successful request. Handle the failure before firing events or returning success.

Check the duplicateFolder() result before firing the folder event.
duplicateFolder() returns false when copyFolder() fails. The folder branch ignores that value. It fires media.folder.duplicate and the handler returns the normal item-list response. The user sees no error, and listeners receive a duplicate event for a folder that was not created. The file-batch check does not cover this path.
Throwing stops the remaining items in the batch. The event does not fire for the failed folder.

Generate the replacement name from the requested name, not the original name.
When $newPath exists, the code calls generateIncrementedFileName($originalPath). The code then discards the name the user typed.
Example: the user duplicates a.pdf and enters b.pdf. b.pdf already exists. The result is a-1.pdf, not an increment of b.pdf. The flash message reports the new name, but the user never chose it.
Pass $newPath to the generators. Both helpers use dirname() and basename(), so they work with the requested path. $newPath always has the same parent folder as $originalPath.

Use a Storm revision with File::unique() and pass the hyphen separator.
The locked Storm revision does not provide File::unique(), so file duplication can fail with an undefined-method exception. Keep dev-develop only if it resolves to a revision containing Storm PR #186; otherwise select a suitable release or branch. Update composer.lock to that revision.
Storm PR #186 uses _ as the default separator. Pass '-' to preserve the documented filename format.

Add a button for duplicating files or folders in the Media Manager menu bar.
Single item selection:
If a file or folder is selected, the user is prompted for the new name of the duplicated file/folder.
Multiple item selection:
If multiple files and/or folders are selected, a warning is displayed to the user that the files/folders will be duplicated with an automatically generated name.
Automatically generated names :
"-x" is added to the name of the item to be duplicated, where x is a numeric counter.
The folder where the item is located is scanned for occurrences with identical names.
For example,
myfile.pdfwill givemyfile-1.pdf.If
myfile-1.pdfis already present, then the new name will bemyfile-2.pdf.Required: wintercms/storm#186
