Copy a file
Paste it multiple times in the same directory
See the prefix growing as "Copy (2) of Copy (1) of.."

I think at that time this was "acceptable", I will take a look before finishing 6.2.

Additionally, I think it is more ergonomic to add a suffix rather than a prefix. Think about this common scenario:

Suppose you have many files (sorted in usual accending order) in a directory.
Copy one file named "zzzz.ext"
Paste it in the same dir.
See "Copy (1) of zzzz.ext" appears far away from the original file.
You should have to scroll many screens up to access it.
zzzz.ext.copy1 (any other suggestion?) may be a better name.
It is cheap to select and rename it (using backspace).
