There was some talk on the mailing list a while back about implementing an automatic file comparison system in the KIO file transfer system. If you copy a file to a folder, and there is a name conflict, it would check to make sure the files are not identical before prompting you for a decision. It was decided that this wasn't enough for a GSOC project, but maybe it is enough for a season of KDE project. I am not sure. -Todd
