How to "Confirm Overwrite" Dialog

[RobinWitt]

I have done some research in various forums and the eOS Docs, but I couldn't find any answer to this:

1. When copying/cutting single or multiple files and the same file(s) already exist in the target directory, what is the standard behavior of the file manager?
   (By testing, I figured it is likely "replace", but it shouldn't be up to the user to figure that out by trial and error)

2. Is it possible to display a dialog that asks me what I want do to, "replace", "skip", "rename" (ideally for each conflicting file)?
   How to do it?

I am fairly new to elementaryOS and Linux in general and help is very much appreciated.

(Running elementary OS 8 with latest updates)

Files should already be displaying a file conflict dialog in these circumstances with options "Keep Newest", "Skip", "Cancel" or "Replace", which can be applied individually or to all the files. I'll check whether there has been a regression.

The file conflict dialog is appearing OK for me. I notice that the dialog is not modal so you can still perform operations in the Files window (like renaming). It might be worth checking the dialog is not appearing beneath something else or on another workspace 🤷

An exception is that if you copy some files into their own folder then Files automatically renames them with a "..(copy)" suffix.
