Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When copying/moving files, say, from my desktop to my flashdrive, nautilus gives the following alert:

A file named “temp-doc.odt" already exists. Do what to replace it? The file already exists in “Desktop”. Replacing it will overwrite its contents.

It would be very helpful if the warning gave the modification date for both files so I can verify that I'm not over-writing the newer file with the older one by mistake.
