(Get the code!)
It seems like it would be mega-smart to do something like this:
- If the filename to copy already exists, create a "dummy" file instead.
- If there is atleast 1 dummy files on the drive, but the drive is nearly full (say 5% left), stop creating dummy files, *unless* the rest of the files *can still fit* on the drive.
For every dummy file:
- If the user wants to keep the original file, then delete the dummy file.
- If the user wants to overwrite the original file, delete the original, then rename the dummy file to correct filename.
The dialog for "keep" or "overwrite" is presented at the end, in this way all data has been copied, however, when the user decides what he/she would like to do, it requires much quicker operations: delete and/or rename, to complete the task.
