Clean QubesIncoming dir, and retry copy; Last file: name-of-file (error type: File exists)\r\n```\r\n\r\nAnd this message shows a forboding red circle icon. This should be simplified to be less scary, technical, and cryptic. The only piece of this relevant & which makes sense to a GUI user is \"File exists\" thus I propose:\r\n\r\n- A more \"warning\" icon like a yellow or orange exclamation triangle\r\n- A message like \"A file with the same name already exists where you trying to copy to\"\r\n\r\n"}}
