You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When moving MULTIPLE files to a folder where a file of the same file
name already exists, you get the dialog box shown in the attachment:
[text
version]-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A file named "FIRST_FILENAME" already exists. Do you want to replace it?
The file already exists in "FOLDER". Replacing it will overwrite its
contents.
[Skip All] [Replace All] [Skip] [Replace]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------[text
version]
The [Skip All] [Replace All] [Skip] [Replace] buttons are confusing choices to
the question: "Do you want to replace it?"
The more reasonable answers are: [Yes] [No].
But I can see why [Skip][Replace] are used, however the [Skip All]
[Replace All] buttons are confusing - do they skip all the files that I
am copying or does it skip all of the duplicates. It skips all the
duplicates, which is the correct behavior, but this is pretty unclear
from the button labels in the dialog box.
I wish I had a suggestion on how to make this clearer, but I don't. I
just wanted to bring it to the teams attention.
