In general the approach of using `QMimeDatabase` supports this, solves the problems of using `QFileInfo` that @pino pointed out, and also allows seamless support for filename extensions with two dots in them (e.g. `tar.gz`).

  Why trying to append 'copy' in the base name whith possible headaches while you could simply do something like 'Copy N#1 of /original file name/' ?
