310	Ability to merge directory in single drag/drop	mobybrick		"There is no way to merge or copy two directories together without throwing an object already exists error:

Imagine you have two directory trees:

* PCRootFolder
 :
 === Files1
 === Files2
   :
   == Subfiles1

* LaptopRootFolder
 :
 === Files1
 === Files2
   :
   == Subfiles1


Windows users will be familar with the easy operation of combining two files - i.e. dragging and dropping Files2 from LaptopRootFolder to PCRootFolder.

Under the WPS this doesn't work straight away because it throws 'Object already exists. Rename?' (i.e. two Files2).

What would be good is if we can make FM2 ignore the object already exists error, and simply merge the two folders into the target. The only 'Already exists' error should be for *files* in the target structure, and then the user should be prompted for overwrite or rename.

Larsen Commander provides this functionality - almost - it tries to merge the two folder trees, but aborts if a file already exists in the target (i.e. doesn't ask for a rename, it just aborts the copy).

This sounds like a task and a challenge for FM/2 and team - I think that this simple file management procudure is sorely missing. The WPS simply can't handle it, especially if the target contains similarly named files and folders.

It'd be great if this could be done!"	enhancement	new	minor	Release_3.27	fm/2 base	3.14		merge directory
