Maybe we could automatically compare files below a certain size and just overwrite (basically update metadata on the target) if they have the exact same contents, without showing any dialog at all. That would simplify the use case where you're merging two dirs that may contain duplicate files. It's a case I tend to run into. The dialog spam sometimes causes me to go "yes, yes, yes, yes, doh, that last one wasn't a duplicate!" -- Hans Petter _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list Usability@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
