duplicate error: how to give a "-2" for duplicates

I want to give my photos the following name:

2016-01-01 20-10-00__(camera-modell).JPG

The rule is easy:
:EXIF_Date:__(:EXIF_Model:)


The problem:
sometimes photos are done so quickly, that there are "duplicates", because the cameras do not safe milliseconds......

first I tried to solve this problem with serialization at the end, but this is a bad solution, because if you delete one photo later, all photos will be renamed.

Best would be to give a "-2" ending only for duplicates.....

How do I solve my problem....?

Found it:

- "preview" and check the forth box from above
- (press F8  and change the meta-tags)

The easiest way to fix duplicated names is by using a built-in option.

Find Options menu just above the files table, click on "Fix conflicting new names".

That's right, you can also also activate that option after every preview.
