Summary 0000213: MP 2.63.6 attachment drag-to-detach oddity
Description MP 2.63.6.3212 Qt 4.6.2 Win XP Pro

Some time ago you significantly improved the logic for what happens when unnamed attachments are dragged out of the attachment pane - previously they always got created as "Untitled", now they get "Untitled<n>.<ext>".

But a few days ago I dragged a set of unnamed items to a folder which happened already to have a file called "Untitled2.xxx" (where the xxx matched the type of the 2nd file to be dragged out). I was quite surprised to get the name conflict window when MP saw that the 2nd file being dragged out would conflict with the one already in the folder.

I really expected that MP would, for each attachment being dragged out, simply repeat a process of trying incrementing filenames until it finds one that doesn't already exist.

Conceivably one would want to prevent such logic from looping for ever and ever - maybe limiting retry to 10 or 20 increments before giving up.
