Not only info could be displayed. Also a set of actions, like "Replace if newer" "Replace all if newer", etc.

From idea #1824:

When you copy or move a file to a folder containing files with the same names, the only information you are given is:

Are you sure you want to replace file 'filename'?
Replace | Replace All | Skip | Skip All

The following additional information should be presented:

Date/Time Last Modified for both files
Size of both files
A true/false diff report if the size of both files happens to be identical
