Hi everybody
As the title says it would be nice to be able to merge folder contents into one folder that has the same name when copying or moving it to a new location. I saw the feature at a friends place when he was copying music files in Gnome.
Is that somehow possible (it certainly is) or maybe already implemented? Maybe somehow with a service menu.
Thanks, david

This feature already exists in trunk, in the standard copy system. It is called "Write into" and "Write into all" now instead of "Overwrite" and "Overwrite all". Kudos to the developer(s) who implemented this ( just discovered this )
