Comment (by humdinger):
I have also thought about a one-prompt-window-to-rule-them-all when taking
notes for window (2). But it appears to become pretty complex and I opted
to have just a list of "clashing" items and leave the decisions what file
to keep for window (3) where a side-by-side comparison is less
messy.[[BR]]
In any case, Axel hit the nail en tete: All prompting should be done at
the beginning of the operation, not sprinkled into the process when that
particular file is reached. Also, the copying of the non-clashing files in
the background is good idea. Also remember that Tracker is able to undo
file actions, so an abort can be dealt with even if the copy process was
already started.
