This is by design. TC tries to mimic the behaviour of the Windows command line cmd.exe. Try
ren history.txt Old.history.*
and you will get the same effect.
ren history.txt Old.history.*
and you will get the same effect.

[Req] Improve Copy with Rename
I believe my request pertains to this thread: better copy with rename.
i.e. When copying (or moving) selected files "*.*" to "prefix_*.*", the "prefix_" overwrites the existing name of the file. e.g. "file.ext" becomes "prefix_.ext". Copying to "*.*_postfix" works as expected.
IMHO, the current behavior is not very functional or intuitive.
The above bug report was dismissed as intended behavior, but is there really a need for backward compatibility with "ren" and "copy" in this case?
Can this be a feature request?
