In Thunar 1.1.6, when I select a file and then choose "Verknüpfung erstellen" ("Create shortcut" or "Create symlink" in English) from the "Edit" menu, Thunar wants to create a symlink with the exact same name of the file and then prompts me if I really want to overwrite the file. What I expect Thunar to do instead is to create a symlink with a different name, like "Copy of <filename>" or so.
