I wondered if it might be desirable to have a uniform approach to dealing with duplicate note names. There are three circumstances where this is an issue.
Duplicate an existing note.
In FSNotes, if you duplicate a note using File > Duplicate, then a date-and-time stamp is added to the note name. For example:
My Note 20190508053952
In this circumstance, the Finder would create:
My Note
My Note Copy
My Note Copy 2
A Note already exists.
In FSNotes, if you move a note to a folder that already contains a note with that name, then a number is added to the moved note name. For example:
My Note
My Note 1
My Note 2
In this circumstance the Finder would prompt and, if "Keep Both" is selected, the Finder would create:
My Note
My Note Copy
My Note Copy 2
Create a new note.
In FSNotes, if the user creates multiple new notes with File > New, they all have the note name "Untitled Note" and the note file name is a UUID.
The Finder does not have something directly comparable, but when creating multiple new folders, Finder makes:

untitled folder 2
untitled folder 3
Similarly, when File > New is repeatedly selected in TextEdit, the text documents are named:
Untitled
Untitled 2
Untitled 3
I prefer simple and so, FWIW, my preference would be for FSNotes in circumstances 1 and 2 above to use:
My Note
My Note 1
My Note 2
In circumstance 3 above, for both the note name and note file name, my preference would be to use:
Untitled Note
Untitled Note 1
Untitled Note 2
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
