Comment (by humdinger):
The motivation: ATM, if you copy a folder to a location that already has
one of that name, you can only choose between replacing the existing one
completely or abort the operation. Therefore (1).[[BR]]
If you decide to merge the containing files (or files in general) it would
be nice to have more options to deal with "clashing files". Therefore
(2).[[BR]]
You should get more info to decide what file to keep. Therefore (3).
Items <-> files, clashing, checksum etc. are just words I used for
discussing the feature in priciple. Nailing those down is the last step.
"Runtime" BTW, is the currently used term.
As making mockups can be time consuming, I'd rather wait until there is an
indication that a majority supports the general direction.
