Bug ID: 510475
Summary: Ignore duplicate files if they are identical, warn
only if there are differences
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
When moving or copying files, once duplicate files are found the user has too
choose what to do (overwrite, skip, etc) and information is given if both files
seem to be identical or not. Usually when files are identical users what to
skip these and care more about files that are different but have the same
filename. If the list of duplicates is high and many but not all are identical
there is a risk that the user clicks the wrong action and overwrites files that
are actually different
This feature request is to please have dolphin allow moving files and skipping
duplicates when they are identical files and only care about files that are
different. I'm not sure how this could be implemented in the GUI but I think
the feature itself would be welcome to all users that have accidentally deleted
the wrong files in the past
