Description Philip Van Hoof 2003-12-29 09:47:36 UTC 
When I move a folder into another folder where a folder with the same name
exist, nautilus ask me whether or not I want to replace it. IMHO it should
be more clear to the user that nautilus is going to replace the entire
folder ignoring if the contents of the first folder is different from the
new one. Or nautilus should give the user the option to replace the same
files in that old folder keeping files that are not in the new folder
(recursive).
