Description Māris Nartišs 2012-01-09 09:02:27 UTC
Version:           1.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

When replacing files sometimes I do care only when destination is newer than source. It would be nice if file replace dialog would provide an option to replace all files with older destination and to keep back action for files with newer destination or same age destination.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
mkdir src
mkdir dest
touch src/foo dest/baz3 dest/foo src/bar dest/baz dest/baz2 src/bar2
sleep 2
touch dest/bar src/baz3 src/baz src/baz2 dest/bar2
dolphin
move all files from src and drop on dest


Actual Results:  
File replacement dialog only offers an option to skip all files or overwrite all files.

Expected Results:  
When clicking "Replace if source is newer" button and marking "Apply to all" all "baz" files should be moved to "dest" but "foo" and "bar" shouldn't.
