Small but useful suggestion

Hi,
Just wondering if this can be done in the next release, to make things a bit simpler for copying files. Currently, if a file exists when up/downloading, a dialog pops up asking if I want to overwrite the existing file.
The buttons on the dialog are "OK" and "Cancel", and there are some very confusing tick-boxes on the right:
1. Always use this action,
2. Apply to current queue only,
3. Apply only to uploads.
Confusing and too hard! Technically I appreciate the variety of options, but just having an "OK To All" button would be far simpler for quick, immediate use. It's a very common UI design to have an "ok to all" button. Can this be added? It would make things so much simpler.
[ed] Just to clarify - when doing lots of site updates, uploading files here and there, it's just irksome to have to click the right tickbox each time. I don't want to tick "always use this action", and I don't want to risk ticking it when I'm in a hurry and have to whizz the mouse around from the tick-boxes to the OK button every time I want to upload a couple of files. Hope you know what I mean.. so an "ok to all" which applies that particular upload would be perfect.
[ed again] omg... just noticed that when uploading a few files, and I want to *cancel* the upload, I have to click Cancel for every single file. That's a pain as well.
And when I click "Apply to Current Queue", it automatically selects "always use this action" - that's not what I want. So I have to click 3 times on the dialog just to basically say "ok to all" or "cancel all"... ick.
