Try out Total Commander, worth every buck!http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment19http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment19Fri, 06 Jan 2012 10:31:41 GMTDirectory Opus looks very nice, but it costs as much as Windows 7 itself! Methinks this is one of those situations where if they dropped the price to 20 bucks they'd sell 10 times as many licenses...http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment18http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment18Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:26:40 GMTSo sad that Microsoft is not able to do monthly updates to the OS to fix little (big) things like this. Now we have to wait for Windows 8 for an improvement, and then if they forget something obvious, we will have to wait another 2 years for windows 9. http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment15http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment15Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:24:59 GMTwww.farmanager.com - you won't even have to exit command line :) Everything has shortcut keys, mouse is totally optional (but works if you must...)http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment14http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment14Sat, 31 Dec 2011 22:46:39 GMTReplace Explorer with Directory Opus. http://www.gpsoft.com.au/ Too many good things to mention here, but the File Copy actions are super. http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment13http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment13Sat, 31 Dec 2011 09:59:45 GMTI hate the fact that it stops the copy process until you've answered the question. Surely it could move on to some of the other files in the background. The number of times I've started a large copy/move operation and gone to lunch only to discover it stopped after 2 files. I use robocopy now for anything larger than 10 files. As an added bonus, using the command line makes me feel like a ninja!http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment12http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment12Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:29:20 GMTI've also been using Total Commander since more than 10 years. It's the first thing I install on a new computer.http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment11http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment11Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:08:19 GMT+1 for Total Commander!http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment10http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment10Thu, 29 Dec 2011 19:50:40 GMTI use Total Commander for all file operations - Explorer is not keyboard friendly enough for me, and Total Commander allows things like packing, comparing, mass renaming, etc. quite easily.http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment9http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment9Thu, 29 Dec 2011 17:51:06 GMTTab, enter for a single file... If Alt-d is desired, do what Daniel said. Windows is reasonably keyboard-friendly, but there's always some sort of trick to it :). I'm always baffled by people who bring up the Task Manager by right-clicking the Task bar (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), or the System Information however it's done without using Windows-Pause. Some people even use the mouse to navigate the start menu...http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment8http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment8Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:59:54 GMTI've always hated that dialog because there's too much information presented and I find myself having to read it each time to make sure I'm selecting the correct option. I'd much rather have the dialog ask if I actually want to do what I asked, rather than making me choose my intent again. I've already dragged files into a folder; this should be enough to signal my intent.http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment7http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment7Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:31:50 GMTUse TeraCopy and be VERY Happy. http://codesector.com/teracopyhttp://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment6http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment6Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:12:51 GMTDaniel, Argh, haven't though of that, but I would much rather be able to do something like Alt+d, Alt+m, Enterhttp://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment5http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment5Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:41:02 GMTAlt+D, up, up, up, Space...http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment4http://ayende.com/152801/windows-7-conflict-resolution-dialog-how-i-hate-thee#comment4Thu, 29 Dec 2011 11:39:58 GMTAlt+d to select "Do this for the next 3 conflict", then up arrow x3+Enter.
