Having c:\foo\ in thumbs pane.
Press Alt+C with the 'bar' subfolder selected in order to copy it to d:\blah.
However in d:\blah there is already a subfolder with the same name: 'bar'. The program 'sees' this and pops-up the Conflict dialog for the '..' (directory) files asking if we want to Rename, Replace, Replace All, Skip etc. I chose 'Skip'. No other file was merged in the already existing destination folder.
1. The dialog is wrong. The correct way in which folder merge should be handled is given by eg. Win 7's copy/move engine. One cannot use a file conflict dialog with two black preview rectangles for directories. It is very confusing and the buttons doesn't fit and doesn't work.
2. The dialog is wrong. Again. It shows in the 'Replace' box the source directory and in the 'With' box the destination directory. IOW the things are swapped.
