[Bug 98656] Konqueror has unintuitive options when copying

[Reuben Firmin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konqueror

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).

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
