[gentoo-user] Dolphin and adding a option, if it exists.

[Dale]

Howdy,

This may not exist.  If not, oh well.  Sometimes when I'm moving files
with Dolphin, I need a added feature.  I tend to use split panes when I
copy or move files.  Quite often, I want to move files from one location
to another and the new file use the same name as the old file I'm
replacing.  What I *wish* I could do, move the file from one pane to the
other and drag the new file on top of the old file and it replace it
with the name of the old file.  As it is now, I have to bring up
properties, select the name of the file, while not including the
extension, and copy it, then close that window and open properties on
the new file, highlight the old name, paste new name, close window, copy
new file over and either delete old file or tell it to overwrite the
file.  Sometimes it has a different extension and I have to delete
instead. 

It would be a lot faster if I could just drag it on top of file I want
to replace and either it be configured to use name of old file for new
file or me select in a pop up what I want to do.  Basically, move and
drop instead of all the properties, copy, repeat with paste on new file
and then move and maybe delete a file as well.  I went to the services
window and looked for anything I could add but I didn't see anything
that would do what I describe but it could be a hidden feature of one
that isn't obvious. 

Has anyone ever seen something that does this?  While I use dolphin, I
may could use another tool if it has this feature. 

Thanks.

Dale
