Hi!

I've opened two tickets for the bugs I found and my patches to fix them at
husky's sourgeforge page a while ago, but haven't seen any feedback yet.
Currently I'm working on a new feature for htick to rename duplicates. It's
going to be an additional configuration switch for fileareas. At the moment
htick simply overwrites files which got the same name (default action).
With the "noreplace" switch set the new file will stay in the
inbound directory and the TIC is renamed to "bad". In some cases
it makes more sense to rename duplicate files, i.e. to add some kind of
identifier to the filename. My idea is something like this:
- for DOS style names: file.zip -> file.z01
- for long filenames: long-name.tar.gz -> long-name.01.tar.gz

What do you think about the renaming method? Is there any better one?

Regards,
Markus
