At the "file already exists" - "replace with" screen, the replace and with text on top is reversed. Or left panel info and photo belongs on right.

Right. On the left side there must be the old file and info, and on the right side the new one.

Also I think the panel title "Replace" and "With" is not really correct, because the user has several options and does not necessarily replace the file. I'd prefer something like "Existing file", "Copied/Moved file".

For non-image files, the dialog should look a little bit different. At the moment, it's the same dialog but surely without image. Also, the dimensions are empty.
At least the empty space where the images are located shouldn't be there and the dialog reduced in height.

A placeholder for non-image files could work also (showing a frame
around a filename or anything to occupy space).

Yes, right ;-)
