SUMMARY
***
When copying files and on or more files already exists the user is asked how to handle it.
The offered options are:
- overwrite
- overwrite older
- skip
- rename
All options can be set for all next occurrences, except for rename.

There should be more options to decide how handle the file:
- overwrite if size is smaller
- overwrite if size is bigger
- copy the source file with a new name into target folder, setable for all: append pattern (e.g. ".1")
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create 2 identical folder with file
2. Copy one file from first folder to second folder

OBSERVED RESULT
User is asked how to handle the target file:
- overwrite
- overwrite if older
- skip
- rename
EXPECTED RESULT
