Re: [Usability] The ``Replace File'' dialog should display the two file sizes, times, etc.

Very nice, I think there should be an easy way to (un)check all files, though.

I've placed a proposed implementation of such a dialog under [1,2], which is losely

I am heavily interested to get a similar dialog structure into Nautilus
2.14. Any comments?
