Description

This behavior change was noticed between Thunar 1.0.2 to 1.1.4-r1, I have not tried other versions.

When moving or copying a directory, and directory symlink of the same name exists in the destination:

Previous behavior was to merge contents of the directory being copied/moved over with those of the directory symlink in the destination.

As of 1.1.4-r1, the behavior is to overwrite the directory symlink, replacing it with the directory of the same name.

Version: 1.2.0
