Description
I've wasted many hours of my life clicking "Skip" more than 15.000 times while doing full backups of my home-directory.
Nautilus simply HAS TO offer more buttons than "Skip", "Abort" and "Retry". A simple "Skip All" in the fashion of "Overwrite All" would have saved my hands, arms and mousebuttons severe strain!
Secondly, a "Skip this folder" should also be introduced. For example, Nautilus could offer this functionality after 3 files of the same folder could not be copied successfully (Just an idea).
These functions are really easy to implement & they would help so much! Please fix this!
P.S.: Alternatively, make Nautilus simply copy everything without trouble. I really do not understand why it always complains over 15.000 times when copying my home-directory... even when I'm root. This is bad. But offering Skip-functionality might be the easier choice!

I think it is to do with permissions. It might work better if you have opened nautilus with gksudo or logged in as root.
Yeah it definitely does need a skip all though. +1 from me

I have these features while running Hardy. I cannot confirm that Hardy will come with this, but I would expect it to be implemented. I have run into "Replace All" and "Skip All".

Now that's good news! Then I guess my post is irrelevant.
I'm really looking forward to Hardy!
