Description marder 2010-09-22 00:05:59 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Its not a bug, but i tried in debian sid the new version of krusader taht comes with kde 4.5, and I honestly must tell you, that clicking twice now (instead of once before "overwrite all", is a bad idea!

Example
I use crusader to manage my multimediafiles and my Photos on my server. If I want to add more files to a existing strukture, I have to write in some existing directories (click twice (applay all, write into directory) and then again click twice when I need to overwrite files (apply all - overwrite)
Honestly this ist nonsense... moving files for half an afternoon, my finger hurts, because i clicked two times more!
If you really like this option, could you please make it configurable in the settings? (old dialog - new dialog)

Thanks for your time!!!

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-4.slh.15-aptosid-amd64

The dialog belongs to KDE, not Krusader itself - I'm reassigning product to kde - but I guess it's still WONTFIX

Thanks for answering.
What Do you mean by "reassigning product to kde" - Did you report it to kde?

Its really a pitty. I haven't checked KDE 4.6, since it hasn't arrived to Debian yet. I really hope that this is redone...

The overwrite rename dialog is part of Kio project in the KDE Frameworks which is the KDE community maintained framework, while Krusader is an app with its own maintainers.

This changes was intentional : overwriting all is a potentially dangerous feature so better be sure about this, and the UI was too cluttered, adding a check allow to replace two buttons by one checkbox.
The checkbox is very close to the button which makes it easy to click both rapidly.
