Copy a file oldname.txt to another folder with new*.*
The copied file is newname.txt and not as expected newoldname.txt
Bug or feature?

It is the same as in Windows Command Line. So it is windows feature.

Hi,
you can use
Renamer plugin (from menu
Plugins > Renamer > Batch Rename or using
CTRL+SHIFT+R hotkey)
Then in the
New name field write: "
new$(OriginalName)" , check the new names in the
Preview part and click
Rename
Renamer plugin can be used for more sophisticated renaming, using substrings, dates, counters,
regular expressions, and more ...

anyway you can use another
wildcard character the question mark "
?" which represents one character.
in your exaple:
oldname.txt using new*.* you get newname.txt
oldname.txt using new???????.* you get newoldname.txt
