Nemo file copying: merge and skip by default.

[HT-7]

I suggest an option for Nemo to merge folders and skip existing files by default, without asking the user. This would make smartphone (MTP) backups easier. You can start copying a folder, then leave the computer and not have to interact with "file exists" and "folder exists" window.

If you back up the Camera folder of your phone, you don't want to have to confirm that you want to skip existing files from the last backup.

Please add an option to merge folders and skip existing files by default, without asking the user. This would make backups easier.

Defaults are the basis, so if Nemo offers two ways (skip & overwrite) then it's for a good reason

What you're doing right now is perfectly acceptable but unsuitable to do with default commands.

The way to backup "correctly" smaller data is to use rsync. Check this thread: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-rsync-for-local-and-remote-data-transfer-and-synchronization/
