Hmm, for some reason I fail to reproduce the double-dialog .. which filesystems
do you use to trigger it ?

I am not sure if that means that the fallback code is not able to copy+delete
directories, or if it is not able to do so across different file-systems. In
any case, it sounds like that this might be the reason for our custom fallback,
which is called recursively on directories.

"thunar_transfer_job_copy_file" automatically creates "myfile (copy1)" if
source and target are identical ... but for moving files that seems to be not
relevant. (Though iirc there is some other open bug requesting a "rename"
button on copy/move dialog )

A member "replace_confirmed" per file and "don't ask for confirmation"  sound
good to me!
