Hi Sarah We had a discussion in July of last year on how to improve the dialog you're referring to. Please check out some of the comments:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2005-July/msg00136.html I think Christian Neumair came up with a patch, but AFAIK it hasn't been used. I like the idea of having a preview of the files, but there are a few issues. Previews for some file-types aren't very useful for distinguishing between files (PDFs especially). Rather than (or in addition to?) a preview, maybe we could have a link/button which opens the conflicting files in their existing locations so that they can be compared properly? And if it's technically feasible (which I don't think it is ATM), they could even be automagically arranged side-by-side by the window manager? Just a few thoughts. -- Phil Bull http://www.livejournal.com/users/philbull _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
