Version: 3.5.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-10-generic Using Kubuntu 6.10 Live CD, i tried to copy 0.6 million files in 39998 or so folders to an external disk. After who knows how long it took to prepare for this, i come back to the computer to find the copy dialog saying "100% done" and the destination external HD screen having a dialog saying permission denied... Turns out the external HD was mounted as root. Why does Konqueror not check if an action is possible before spending half an hour (you tell me, the progress dialog didn't) wearing out my Windows drive. Posting using bugmenot account because Konq froze when trying to access Hotmail for my password. - CT

Yes, kio should do some further test before starting the copy process.
