Review request for kdelibs.


Summary
-------

This patch makes two changes to the KIO file rename dialog box (the dialog box that appears when there is a file or folder name conflict when moving or copying files).  First, it adds the ability to automatically rename the files using the default file renaming rules (what you would get if you clicked "Suggest Name" once).  This is useful to avoid data loss, since you will not overwrite duplicate files or folders.

Second, because there are already a lot of possible buttons in the dialog box (rename, suggest name, overwrite, overwrite all, skip, auto skip, resume, resume all, and cancel), and since this patch would add another button, this patch eliminates "overwrite all", "auto skip", and "resume all" buttons and adds a single "apply to all" check box.  This check box changes each single-file button action to its corresponding multi-file action.  So when checked, "overwrite" behaves as "overwrite all", "skip" behaves as "auto skip", etc.  So despite the increased functionality this leads to a net reduction of up to 2 buttons, depending on the circumstances.

I know this is very late, but I think it is an important feature since there are several bug reports requesting this.  This is my first submission to KDE, so I apologize beforehand if the patch is not perfect.  I tried to follow KDE style guidelines, but there may be some commonly accepted conventions I am not aware of.

Testing
-------

I have used this dialog box under various combinations of file and/or folder conflicts with all of the buttons.  It appears to work fine.
