Skip, Stop, Replace warning messages on MacBook with macOS Sonoma.

I just copied a folder contents from my Mac to my MacBook Air.

Usually when a file already exists a warning comes up and asks if you want to Skip (Keep Both), Stop or Replace.


Today it didn't it just dumped the whole lot and added a "2" to the filename!


Now I have to go through and manually delete all those duplicates. 🥲


Can anyone advise why this has happened and how I get it back? I can't find anything in settings for either Finder or System.


Thanks very much.
