Sign up ×  I copy files A LOT from one place to another. The
dialog box that prompts me to confirm file overwrites slows me
down a lot. I have tried to get rid of this but can not find
where to configure this. Anybody?  share|improve this question
1 Answer 1  up vote 2 down vote accepted  According to the
nautilus source code there is no way to force it to
merge+overwrite or just overwrite. The code would have to be
modified and recompiled in order to support an option that
allowed that.  Let me know if your interested in using a hack
I've made, the code is simple, it's just not supported.

was an easier way. And yes, I'd be interested in that code! –
