In additional to above.. I found myself in a bad situation while I was copying thousands of files from several sources to the same destination with the idea to merge all files in one directory. Several had the same name, although they might or might not be the same kind.
The above dialog appeared with only the choices "skip all", "replace all", "skip" and "replace". Several problems I have with this: - At that moment I was not able determine if I want to replace or skip, so I wanted to investigate these files. But opening any other (new) nautilus window is prevented from exploring files/directories. It seems the dialog is blocking all nautilus user actions of every other window. It would be nicer if you could still work in other nautilus windows while the dialog is displayed for one. - When I found that out I wanted to abort the action.. however there is no button for that. The close button does also not do anything, so the only possible approach seemed to kill nautlius. - Also instead of skip or replace, I would like to have the option to rename the file to distinguish them. Note that I like the option "skip all", as most filemanagers are limited to only three: replace "yes","no","all". For those interested.. my workaround I used to overcome above problems. For each source directory (many cdroms in my situation): - first copy every source file (using select all) to an empty temporary directory - secondly move all files from that temporary directory to the real destination directory and upon a conflict choose "skip all" - if there was any conflict, the source files are still left in the temporary directory which I can then delete, rename or do some other action with. -- nautilus 'replace file' dialog box could give more information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136702 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
