While knowing size and last modified are useful things to know, they are not necessarily enough to tell that two files are identical (in particular as sizes are usually only approximate).
Better would be to have the system find out for me that the two files are identical by computing a checksum (md5 or similar) in the background and let me know the result: "Note: the files are identical", or "Note: the files are not identical". This is very quick on all but the largest files (you may want to ask specifically for *.iso and similar). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136702 Title: nautilus 'replace file' dialog box could give more information -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
