[Feature Request] Add merge button in the replace dialog when copying or moving folders
Thunar 4.18.7 (I apologize if this has already been addressed in newer versions already)
Strange that no one has requested this before?
I apologize if this has been asked for already but I am a little confused.
I typed in keyword "merge" and only see the following post 154
What is confusing is that this post makes it sound like this already exists?
I am suggesting adding a "Merge" button to the Replace Dialog when copying or moving folders into a location that already has a folder with the same name. This "Merge" button will allow user to choose to merge the contents of the new folder into the existing folder with the same name.
Thank You

Does "Replace" not already perform the merge action? Do you have a specific test case?

Merging folders is done automatically, you don't even need to hit "replace", merging is just done by default, without even asking.
We already have an issue which suggests that we actually ask the user before doing so: #154
So let's close the issue.
