 Please please please can we at least have an option to choose between the two behaviours? I use this a lot!
+== Storing URLs as shortcuts
+On a related note to the point immediately above, the URL file is given a name taken from the title of the web page being stored (it's the same as that in the Title Bar of the window). Many web pages give all of their pages the same Title and that means that storing multiple URLs from such a site is incredibly inconvenient since you have to rename each shortcut before doing the next. Could we have other options to help with this:
+* If the file already exists (ie a shortcut with the same name is already there), automatically add an incrementing number to the end of the name as is standard for other similar situations eg 'Title', 'Title (1)', 'Title (2)'. You could ask the user for confirmation if necessary, that would still be much quicker than now, and could be a third option in an 'Overwrite/Cancel' dialog box, or allow the user to choose the default behaviour in Preferences.
+* Add some other distinguishing item to the name, eg time, URL (though this would probably cause problems with file name length), Querystring, or whatever.
+Again, at least an option in Preferences allowing something like this would be great.
+PS. I know this isn't the ideal location for this idea but I could not spot a better match for it and it relates to the idea above.
