"replace other file": can't replace directory with file

[Adek336]

When I have file "a" and directory "b" and I try to rename "a" to "b" I get told that a file of name "b" already exists and two buttons, "Cancel" and "Replace other file".

"Replace other file" doesn't do anything; just like when I try to rename "b" to "a".

However I can replace a folder with another folder and a file with another file.

Expected behaviour: do the replace; however, replacing a folder with a file can be harmful: losing all the files in a folder. So perhaps the dialog box should contain a warning if I'm trying to replace a non-empty directory (regardless whether with a file or directory).

Also note #1420.

Oops, didn't want to change the owner. Will probably reassign to me in the future anyway :)

Can you recheck this on a recent Haiku build? This may or may not have been addressed in the last 3 years.
