More information when overwriting files.

Submitted by gordoreg on October 29, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

When you are overwriting a file you don`t have good information to choose what you want.

Make a more complete dialog with quicklook option to see the picture, movies files...

While i agree that it is a problem to be solved. I personally dont like the solution given in the example. It is too Windows like.

I agree, it`s just an example. That`s a job for Apple!

This is really frustrating in OS X, a better replace dialog would be very welcome, more windows like or not!

I really miss CopyDoubler, it was awesome. Folder merging, scheduled copies, queued copies, file verification on the fly etc etc... Memories!!!
