copy/move dialog improvement request

Post by flyingrhino »

Please add the following two options to the copy/move dialog:

1. "No to all" , you already have an overwrite "yes to all", and "no" . "no to all" is missing.
2. Rename original or target. When a file already exists under that name and you are copying/moving
there, please give the possibility of renaming the existing file, or give the file you are copying/moving
a new name at the target location.

Thanks.

And yes, Windows is pretty lame when it comes to it.

I think holding Shift when clicking No and the overwrite dialog will act as "No to all"; If you really want more, (for now?) you'll have to look into another software that will "take over", such as SuperCopier.

Yes yes..., with one exception: "Backup (To)" (but there, of course, you get no prompt at all; it just proceeds according to the rules of XY's backup (see Help)).

I have this in the back of my mind (and it hurts a bit because I know it's the core functionality of a file manager...)... eventually I'll do it.
