Ask before "merging" folders

Hi *.*,
A user in the Slovak/Czech forum asked for a warning when copying / moving a dir if a dir with the same name already exists in the target panel.

Folders are never overwriten, they are just merged together. You get a warning if a file inside would be overwritten.

Christian,
Yes, that's the point. The user requests a warning before a merge.

That would be really nice! I merged directories unintentionally before and it's really horrible to unmerge them...

And it is already done. But TC never warns when you merge folders.

Suggestion 1:

I would like to add myself to this request too.

When managing lots of folders i have to first manually check whether folder already exist before any copy/move folder operation - this is very annoying when you have lots of folders. And if i fail to check that and accidentally merge folders the real pain beings... (especially when you made a move)

Get confirmation before
> Merging folders
option would be a real life savior.


Suggestion 2:

By the way, would it be possible to implement a ctrl-z (undo) feature for files/folders operations?
