Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Steps to reproduce:
(1) Create a filename called AAA.
(2) Create a filename called BBB.
(3) Try to rename (either wia context menu or via F2) BBB to AAA.
What happens: A warning (see screenshot) appears: The item could not be
renamed. The name "AAA" is already used in this folder. Please use a different
name. OK.
It is possible to only click OK and try to rename the name in a different way.
What I would expect to happen: a dialog with something like:
This filename is already used (title)
This item could not be renamed because the name "AAA" is already used in this
folder. (description text)
Cancel | Rename anyway and delete* the original item | Rename the original item
(buttons)
*move to trash
So basically do not provide a bothersome warning that forces the user to
do everything manually and provide her with options as to what she
actually wants to do. I have not thought out the wording well enough,
but I hope it is enough to get the idea.
