Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I usually use "merge all", then "skip all" to update/backup/resyncronize
a copy of a folder.
However, if for example a previous copy was interrupted, a partially
done file is left. After doing merge with skip, this file don't gets
overwritten, so the two directorys stay out of sync.
So the only way to do a secure backup is to "replace all", or even
better then delete & recopy the folder to remove source deleted files
also. This either means copy all files again.
I think a "skip all unchanged files" mode, or even "synchronize" mode
(that deletes destination files) would be very useful. But there are too
much choices right now... what to do?
