Nautilus "confirm file actions" dialogue needs to show file information

[Raptor Ramjet]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When pasting files into a directory then, should a file of the same name already exist, the user is prompted with a dialogue stating "A File named "$FILE_NAME" already exists. Do you want to replace it ?".

Sadly there is no information displayed for either the source or destination file. The user is therefore unable to decide whether to replace the file or not until they have manually inspected both source and destination file size, date last modified etc.

The replace file dialogue should therefore be modified to show sufficient file information to assist the user. This should, at a minimum, include the file size and "date last modified" of both source and destination files.
