Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but it's question/feedback for the new File Manager.
My usecase: I often use the File Manager to create a copy of an existing file in a folder and then edit the document. For me this is quicker then for example using FTP in this case.
With the old File Manager, you were able to copy a file to the same folder and rename it on the fly. With the new File Manager this option seem to have disappeared. When I hit Copy/Move and have the current folder selected, the copy/move buttons are disabled.
So now I have to copy the file to another folder, rename it there and then move it back to the original folder. While also refreshing the page twice, otherwise it will try to move it with the old filename.
Is it possible to create a copy of a file in place and rename it, like in the old File Manager? Or is it already there and am I doing something wrong.
