snowflake icon indicating copy to clipboard operation

For the love of Alan Turing, there are 5 prompts just to upload a file!

I try to transfer a file I get these prompts:

  • Move/copy files?
  • Please select a transfer mode
  • Some file with the same name already exists. Please choose an action
  • Permission denied, do you want to copy files to a temporary ...
  • Please enter root password (password is prefilled but I have to click ok)

Four prompts could be eliminated if there only were some setting to set defaults. Here's how you can improve this painful UX:

  • Do not ask me like I'm an indecisive kid whether I really intended to upload a file every time I intend to upload one
  • I have NEVER picked a different transfer mode in my entire experience with snowflake
  • I ALWAYS want to copy files to a temporary directory where it will use sudo after to transfer to the intended one
  • I have NEVER changed the root password in between uploading a file, please stop asking whether this is the root password every time

Thank you, otherwise the app is great and I wish I could contribute, but it's not my area.
