Description
-
Current overwrite dialog is very simple, displays only test message and option buttons.
It would be nice to have a bit more information about files being overwritten, e.g. file size, date, version for executables.
-
Add rename function when overwriting file.
-
Improve visual layout: make dialog more compact, layout buttons in two rows.

Research direction
Start by locating the overwrite dialog and reproducing the file-overwrite flow in the fman application. Define the desired file details, rename behavior, and compact two-row button layout with the maintainer; done means all three requested improvements are implemented and the dialog remains usable across supported platforms.
