Feature Request: Default value for file name conflict

Would it be possible to add a preference option to automatically override the file name comflict dialog?  I make extensive use of the copy/move commands when culling files.  Occasionally, I'll hit conflicts, both legitimate and ones where I'm trying to copy the same file twice.  When this happens, a "File name conflict" dialog appears asking me to "Auto Resolve", "Replace", or "Skip".  It would save me time if there was an option to not have the dialog appear and automatically select the "Auto Resolve" option for me by default.

Dear Joe:
We managed to add the requested feature to FastRawViewer 2.0.11 Release candidate available via this page: https://www.fastrawviewer.com/blog/FastRawViewer-2-0-11-ReleaseCandidate
Quote from release notes:

New setting: Preferences - File Operations - Copy/Move filename confict resolve with options:

  • Ask user: ask user on every conflict (default)
  • Auto resolve: destfolder/filename-(N).ext will be created on confilct with destfolder/filename.ext
  • Replace target: old file in the destination folder will be replaced with the new one
    (note: if destination file is read-only/locked, then additional user prompt will appear).
  • Skip copy/move: copy/move will not be performed for the conflicting file(s) without an additional confirmation.
  • Stop copy/move: copy/move will be stopped without an additional prompt

Note: this setting affects copy/move operations only; filename conflicts on file rename are handled according to rename dialog setting.
