Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 3.3.1 OS: Linux The new "File already exists" dialog that pops up when trying to copy or move a file to a target that already has a file with that name, is really neat - the previews are a great help in determining what file to keep. But for files with previews, the important information carried in the old style dialog, namely file size and time, is not displayed anymore which sometimes makes it hard to select the right action. For example, lets say I copy a lot of MP3 files from a remote location to a local directory (or vice versa). some files may be partially copied which I would want to overwrite, while other files were previously copied correctly in which case I want to skip them. knowing the ID3 and media information for the source and target files does not help me decide while file size and time does. Worse - for the above mentioned case, I won't have the media information for the remote file (whose track length might help me decide). the "click here to fetch the file for the info" link is nice, but downloading a few MBs over a slow connection just to decide if I want to download it again or not does not seem like a good idea to me. I suggest to also add the size and timestamp information for previewed files in the file replace dialog. this might make the already huge dialog box a bit larger, but I think this is a must have.
Created attachment 3503 [details] Screen shot of file replace dialog See, not enought information to decide if to keep the file or overwrite it. sorry for the hebrew, I'm also testing BiDi handling :-)
This is fixed in 3.5a1.
Sorry, but this bug was not fixed. I'm currently on 3.5RC1 and this is still an issue.
Created attachment 13767 [details] Snapshot showing the behavior with 3.5RC1 As you can see in the attached snapshot, the dialog in 3.5RC1 is exactly the same. Its great that previews are available, but time and size are a must.
This is still valid here using: Qt: 4.5.2 (KDE-Qt git commit 46a247a2c9a8c0c4456a02f6a0922d859d88fe76 Date: Fri Jun 26 13:45:37 2009 +0200) KDE: 4.3.61 (KDE 4.3.61 (KDE 4.4 >= 20090717)) kdelibs svn rev. 999250 / kdebase svn rev. 999250 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.30.1
This was fixed for 4.5
[Comment from a bug triager] Indeed, I can confirm that the file information (file size) appears in the dialog, even for file with previews (mp3 or image files), here using KDE SC 4.5.4 However, the MP3 playback options do not appeasr (may be I don't have a Player properly installed...) Regards
