Description
File copying has been here for a long time. There are some defaults needed still. One is, when I'm going to overwrite a folder, the copier should ask if to overwrite the folder or add only the missing contents within it(including subfolders). This is needed when one has broken a file copy operation halfway. The copy will ask if to override a folder which we know, got copied halfway. So we should be able to specify if to overwrite the already existing ones or just to add the remaining.

Well I actually referred to the GUI ease of doing it. It would be better if this could be done.
