I copy files A LOT from one place to another. The dialog box that prompts me to confirm file overwrites slows me down a lot. I have tried to get rid of this but can not find where to configure this. Anybody?

According to the nautilus source code there is no way to force it to merge+overwrite or just overwrite. The code would have to be modified and recompiled in order to support an option that allowed that.

Let me know if your interested in using a hack I've made, the code is simple, it's just not supported.

Thanks! Too bad, I really hoped there was an easier way. And yes, I'd be interested in that code! –  user6019 Nov 13 '10 at 14:49
