The dialog in question
SUMMARY
Portal “Save” overwrite prompt lacks a “Rename” option (only Overwrite/Cancel).
Please add “Rename” that auto-uniquifies (e.g., "name (1).ext").
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In LibreWolf/Firefox, right-click any image -> "Save Image As…"
2. Choose a folder where a file with the same name already exists
3. Click "Save"
OBSERVED RESULT
Overwrite confirmation dialog presents only **Overwrite** and **Cancel**.
EXPECTED RESULT
A third button **Rename** that suggests/applies an auto-suffix (e.g., "(1)",
"(2)", …).
Ideally, a toggle/setting to "auto-rename on conflict".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version:6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Session: X11 (`XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11`)
- Desktop: KDE
- Window manager: kwin 6.4.5
- Example app: LibreWolf/Firefox (non-Flatpak)
- WM_CLASS of dialog: `xdg-desktop-portal-kde` (from `xprop`)
- Dolphin: 25.08.1
- Rationale: KDE’s file copy/move conflict dialog offers **Rename**; the portal
save dialog does not. Adding it would reduce manual retries when saving many
files.
- Severity: **Wishlist**
- Attachment: screenshot of the overwrite prompt
