If the folder already exists, name it "New Folder (i)". Yes, that's how it's done in Windows as well, but I think it makes a lot of sense.

  Unfortunately we cannot do this for the dialogs from `KNewFileMenu` because KIO has no knowledge of the client's view. This dialog is invoked not only from Dolphin, but in the file dialogs and many other places. Dolphin itself could implement this as it already has a "rename inline" mode, but it would be a lot of extra code. And `KDirOperator` which is used for the file dialogs does not have that feature so it would have to gain it first.

  I experimented with putting the warnings elsewhere, but then the problem is that they cause items in the user interface below them to jump around as they appear and disappear. I know from experience that many people really hate this.
