When I paste a file (e.g file.pdf) into a folder containing a file with the same name nautilus pops up this:

---------------------------------------------

A file named "file.pdf" already exists. Do you want to replace it?

The file already exists in "temp2". Replacing it will overwrite its contents.

Options are only "skip" and "replace"

----------------------------------------------

not very useful: there should be an option "rename" which renames the pasted file to file_1.pdf or file_DATE.pdf or something like that.


also: it does not say the sizes of the files and the date modified which makes it hard to say which file is newer.

Bye, cya

resume for all: synaptic, update-manager, add/remove

for the people with slow connections it would be very useful to have a resume-function for the: synaptic, update-manager and add/remove. So it would be possible to start a bigger download, then pause it to surf or whatever and then resume it again.
It should also work after shutting down the machine completely and rebooting, starting synaptic or whatever and resume at exactly the point where you paused.
