Additional copy/ move options: to handle existing files
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2023 7:58 am
Hello Mike,
I have to transfer a lot of data between my disks every day. My life would be easier, if you could add a few options from which you could choose, when you initiate the copy or move.
The background: I often copy overnight, only to find out in the morning that the process stopped, because there was a pop up user dialog (to answer what to do)
Here are my suggestions:
This is only for the case, that the file your copying already exisits in the location your are copying it to:
1. Only overwrite files which are smaller than the files you are copying. Skip the rest
2. Do not overwrite (= skip)
3. Ask the user
4. Overwrite files which are older
5. Overwrite, no matter what
Thanks and bye
