Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-bugs-dist&m=133665017012455 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298976 --- Comment #3 from ivan.pessotto@gmail.com --- Ok I understand your reasons, now I tell you mine :) I'm the user of my PC, so I know what I'm doing when I'm copying a file. If the destination file already exist, the first thing dolphin must do will be ask to overwrite or not, and not show an invalid error (IMHO) saying "there's no space left" when the file will fit to the destination FS. Then I have 2 choices: 1) If my choose is to "rename" the destination file, then it's right to give me that error message. 2) If my choice is to "overwrite", then I known I will loose the old existing file. So if in case of power failure/unplugging the old file is missing, who cares? I've already choose that file is useless for me. After a power failure/unplugging I know the copy operation was aborted and the destination file is inconsistant, but the source file is intact. So the first thing I will do is reboot/replug and then restart the copy operation. So simple :) This is my honest opinion, and I think this is how works "explorer" on windows. IMHO I don't think working with dolphin can be comparable to tools like rsync. Dolphin is a file manager, rsync is a file synchronizer and they are used for different works. Dolphin must be like the 'cp' command. ----- I don't know if this is a dolphin or kio related issue (or feature if you like), but I encountered this "bug" using dolphin, if I was wrong, then I'm sorry. Thank's anyway and sorry for my english (I'm not good at it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
