Description

If you paste a file in a directory that already has one, the prompt will only let you override, not paste or cancel the whole task, would be nice if it let you save both with a number at the end "hi.txt"->"hi (2).txt".

Research direction
Review the paste dialog logic in the file manager's UI code, likely in classes handling file operations. The current dialog only offers 'replace' and 'cancel'. Implement a third button that renames the pasted file with a numeric suffix (e.g., 'filename (2).txt'). Ensure the rename does not conflict with existing files. Testing should verify both behaviors.
