Dear Usability Forum,

I would like to see a file thumbnail preview displayed in the Nautilus dialogue 
box that appears when copying a file toa directory, when a file of that name 
exists already.

To clarify, imagine I have a file called photo1.jpg residing in a ~/images 
subdirectory.  In my home directory, I have another image, also called 
"photo1.jpg."  I drag this file to the "images" sub-directory.  A dialogue box 
appears, telling me that a file of that name already exists.  Information about 
the date and size of the file are provided.  What I would like to see are 
thumbnail previews of the two images as well, so that the user can distinguish 
ata glance if it is the same file.

Thumbnail previews of text files should also be provided.  How audio files 
would be catered for, I do not know.

I hope that something practical can be developed from this suggestion.

Keep up the good work.  I'm looking forward to seeing this year's batch of 
releases!
