Question
Hi
I now have 10.3.5 and every time I option-drag copy a file, the name changes
(my docs2008 becomes my docs2008 2 etc). Is there ANY work around to this;
to have it be like before where it just adds the word "copy" to the file name?
Thanks!!

Answer
Two days, don't you think it is a LITTLE early to expect easy fixes for a new OSX version?
Did some searching - no easy answer.
Tinkertool or one of the hidden OSX switches utilities would probably be the source to expect.
