--- Comment #13 from Cagdas ALAGOZ <cagdasalagoz at gmail.com> ---
I just had this issue and wanted to make this bug more noticeable by
commenting. 

I don't think the second part, `intelligently determine the space needed based
on what needs to be merged`, is feasible, but the first part is important, in
my opinion. Nemo and Thunar do this today.

We should be warning the user about the potential size issue, but we should
also allow the user to `continue anyway`. That way, you can copy files from one
directory to another if you know they have duplicates and you're going to skip
or merge them anyway.

My dolphin version is:  24.12.3
