           Summary: copy paste existing folder in konqueror should have
                    merge option
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: yuriy.kozlov gmail com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Use case:

Folder tree #1:

a/
--b/
----b_1.txt
----b_2.txt

Folder tree #2

a/
--b/
----b_1.txt
----b_3.txt
--c/
----c_1.txt

If I attempt to copy folder tree #2 to the same location as #1, konqueror will tell \
me that "'a' already exists - do I want to overwrite, overwrite all, skip, auto skip, \
etc". The skip options will NOT recurse into the a directory; that is, b_3.txt and c \
will not be copied. The overwrite options are overloaded, i.e. they do 2 things: a) \
copy the files that don't exist under a, e.g. b_3.txt, c, c_1.txt b) overwrite any \
common files

What's really needed is a third option, "merge", that does a) but not b).
