A new button to 'skip all' files would make updating another directory faster when you don't actually want to examine each matching image.
Copying and pasting using <ctrl + c> and <ctrl +v> using Xnview is not good for updating directories. It automatically creates copy of each file without asking to skip any.
File already exists: skip all

Re: File already exists: skip all
I fully agree. But I think we need also Replace all and Rename all.marsh wrote:A new button to 'skip all' files would make updating another directory faster when you don't actually want to examine each matching image.
So I suggest this option:
[x] Apply to all files [Replace] [Rename] [Skip] [Cancel]
Yes, "thumbnail dialog" should be shown here too IMO.marsh wrote:Copying and pasting using <ctrl + c> and <ctrl +v> using Xnview is not good for updating directories. It automatically creates copy of each file without asking to skip any.

"[x] Aplly to all files" would be a good and common solution. You have my support.Dreamer wrote:I fully agree.

Re: File already exists: skip all
And what do you think, it should be always saved, or always disabled, or saved and then disabled at next xnview startup?"[x] Aplly to all files" would be a good and common solution. You have my support.

Re: File already exists: skip all
I agree except I do not think that Cancel would need to apply to all because it would stop the copy operation.helmut wrote:"[x] Aplly to all files" would be a good and common solution.
