I have to agree with the previous posts. I think that this is an merely an usability and design issue (it makes replacing only the older files painful) about an existing feature (the dialog for replacing a file), it's not an entire new feature itself. Which is exactly what papercuts are about (they even mention nautilus, and file-copying as examples). I couldn't think of an usability issue more suited than this one to be fixed for 100papercuts.

[Bug 136702] Re: nautilus 'replace file' dialog box could give more information
Ok, let's reconsider this as a paper cut. Psy[H[], kenden, ferk, will you please investigate upstream about whether this will be trivial to add? The upstream bug has been open for eight years, so my guess is that it's not simple to fix. This is not a paper cut because, although you might not consider this a feature per se, it is in the sense that it requires more than a few lines of code (my guess is at least 50 lines of C) to address.

Psy[H[], kenden, ferk, will you please investigate upstream about whether this will be trivial to add? The upstream bug has been open for eight years, so my guess is that it's not simple to fix. I've asked on the upstream tracker if a patch could be provided, as there are some screenshots of functional versions and a developer claiming to have a patch for potential merging. If I can get one I'll throw it in my PPA and it can be evaluated. The patch probably won't be trivial but maybe it would be useful to evaluate as a usability issue anyway, just not a paper cut.

[Bug 136702] Re: nautilus 'replace file' dialog box could give more information
I don't use KDE, but I like very much that its file manager (what's it called this week?) has this kind of attention to detail. It impressed me the minute I saw it. Of course users can't make an informed decision without access to relevant information. Perhaps if the concern is the delay required to gather this information, it could be hidden behind a more details toggle (one like that used in the GNOME update manager and others) and only generated on request. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Is any work being done on this? Especially for new users this behavior is really annoying. Filesize and modied times should be the minimum of information given on replacing files.

Yeah, this seriously hinders usability. I was shocked the first time I realized I was going to have to go into the other folder, look at the size and dates, and compare them with the others file myself, for each file that already existed, each time I did this. Also I can't believe this has been a bug in Gnome for 7 years, and they even recently considered marking it as WONTFIX!

[Bug 136702] Re: nautilus 'replace file' dialog box could give more information
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 Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 136702] Re: nautilus 'replace file' dialog box could give more information
I agree. It's even worse when nautilus hides the skip all etc window behind another nautilus window so that it just appears to have frozen. It would also be a nice feature in the skip all window if nautilus continued to copy/move the files that is able to while it waits for your input. At the moment you can set up a 1 file copy, leave the PC because you expect it will take a long time, and when you come back you discover it has copied only 10 files and is asking you about file 11. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
