It is in the feature plan.  

Under kdelibs:

IN PROGRESS 	 kio 	 Support for automatically renaming conflicting files during copy and move operations 	 Todd <toddrme2178 at gmail.com>

I tried to keep everything as consistent as possible with the surrounding code.

I'll do that.

Wouldn't that break API compatibility?  Those are public slots, so I didn't want to remove them.

> This patch makes two changes to the KIO file rename dialog box (the dialog box that appears when there is a file or folder name conflict when moving or copying files).  First, it adds the ability to automatically rename the files using the default file renaming rules (what you would get if you clicked "Suggest Name" once).  This is useful to avoid data loss, since you will not overwrite duplicate files or folders.

This check box changes each single-file button action to its corresponding multi-file action.  So when checked, "overwrite" behaves as "overwrite all", "skip" behaves as "auto skip", etc.  So despite the increased functionality this leads to a net reduction of up to 2 buttons, depending on the circumstances.

This is my first submission to KDE, so I apologize beforehand if the patch is not perfect.  I tried to follow KDE style guidelines, but there may be some commonly accepted conventions I am not aware of.
