Build Identifier: 

When copying multiple files to a directory and some of them already
exist in the destination, you have the options skip, replace, and
replace all. Skip all is missing from this list, so if you want to
resume a copy, you have to sit there hitting Skip repeatedly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy several files into a directory.
2. Cancel the copy operation partway through after a few files have been copied.
3. Repeat step 1.
Actual Results:  
Prompt appears with Skip, Replace, Replace All options.

Expected Results:  
Prompt should include Skip All option.

This is version 0.9.0, which seems to be missing from BugZilla.

One of my linux converts is also affected by this bug. This used to work until 
very recently, I hope you can fix it soon. 
(Does anybody know of a workaround using personalized actions or something 
similar?)

I agree, this is a very annoying problem. Solution would be to implement 
something equivalent to:
$ cp -n /source /destination

I do agree, that button is missing. But what exactly would that button
mean?

* If you want to resume a canceled copy operation, you want to only skip files 
with equal size (and maybe date)
* If you are working on some coding branch, you probably want to skip for all 
existing files
* If you are merging two folders, you probably want to only skip copying where 
destination is newer

Seems like a single button won't do it.

The default behaviour should be to "skip all" e.g. skip all existing
files as the button label says. That is a useful missing feature.

We could also have the options you mentioned just below the buttons,
with an exapandable panel (hidden by default)

Maybe this way:

Skip-all-options:

Ask again if destination is
[ ] older     [ ] same age     [ ] newer
[ ] bigger    [ ] same size    [ ] littler

This is a no-brainer feature for a file manager, and apparently easy to
implement... I am surprised it is taking so long to solved. I will do it
myself if nobody else is already working on it...

Adds a "Skip All" option to the file copy dialog

The functionality was already in place in the other locations so I just
added the "Skip All" button and linked it to the correct response.

Created attachment 4051
Add "Apply to all" toggle for both Skip All and Replace All

While it is easy to add a "Skip All" option, it leaves the dialog a
little cluttered. Removing "Replace All" and adding a "Apply to all"
toggle doesn't increase the controls count while adding the ability to
do "Skip All".

I've decided to push Eric's version as I feel that it fits in better.
Even though introducing another button and therefore increasing the
dialog width, I think that every user reply (skip, skip all, replace,
replace all, cancel) should be an action. And those are best represented
by buttons that lead to the dialog being closed. Introducing a secondary
widget here might be ok, but another thing that made me decide against
the check button variant is that it suggests Thunar will remember the
choice (like those "Never show this again" check buttons in other
dialogs), which it won't.

Here's the commit that was pushed to master:

commit 0dca6e49ab7bc11c3a3b6582b6a2508307a125aa
Author: Eric Koegel <[email protected]>

    Add a "Skip All" button to the file overwrite dialog (bug #4263).

Can you please push an update?

{I was copying file from camera attached to USB of the machine. Thunar
did not detect it. Went to GThumb and opened from there with Thunar.
Started Copying about 7GB image files, Thunar got stuck. Killed it.
Restarted copying. Asking for 60 percent of individual files that should
it be skipped. :( }
