  <p>The Copy and Move operations and dialogs behave the same in Geeqie, with the only difference being the final result. The remaining text of this page applies equally to the Copy and Move operations, for the remainder of this page these will be referred to as a Copy/Move operation.</p>

  <p><br />
  <br />
  </p>

  <p>Initiating a Copy/Move operation will display a dialog to select the destination folder to Copy/Move the selected file, after the destination folder is selected Geeqie will proceed to Copy/Move the images to the destination. If an error occurs or a file exists with the same name as one of the files being Copy/Moved, a dialog will appear prompting how to handle the situation.</p>

  <h2>The Copy/Move dialog</h2>

  </dl>

  <br />
  </p>

  <h2>The error dialog</h2>

  <p><br />
  <br />
  </p>

  <h2>The overwrite dialog</h2>

  <p>If a file with the same name exists in the selected destination a dialog will appear to notify the user and ask how to resolve the conflict. The dialog will also display the source and destination images. The following possible solutions will be offered:</p>

  <dt>Skip All</dt><dd>This will perform the same as the Skip button, however any further file name conflicts will be quietly ignored for all remaining files.</dd>

  <dt>Cancel</dt><dd>This will close the dialog and stop the operation, all remaining files will be ignored.</dd>
