--- Comment #47 from Jason Straight <j.straight-kde@straights.net> ---
Okay, I can't imagine this would be hard to fix, after doing some more
investigating.

I have been playing with this and had similar results as Andi, plus noticed the
following:

Every time I copy the Pictures folder to anywhere, not just remote media, it
drops more than 1/2 the files with different numbers every time.

I've also found that simply right clicking the folder and choosing properties
will only give me a partial count, and every time I hit refresh - a different
total of files.

In total, this folder has 6677 files.

I think this has to do with the speed the query for files vs how long the kio
waits. And it has everything to do with the source, not the destination.

I have two external btrfs formatted HD's which [when checking properties in
KDE] show a count of about 3400 at first, but show the right total every time
afterwards hitting refresh in properties. After that count shows the actual
total of files, then copying them will copy them all.

I have one copy on an NTFS partition on my SSD [fuse - slow], which never shows
the right totals, no matter how many times I refresh. Anywhere between 2400 and
3000.

Another copy [mounted via cifs] on wireless only returns a count of about 1600
in properties.

Testing copying to various slow media such as flash drives and cifs mounts
works fine as long as the source media is fast enough to return the proper
total count.
