Hello, when with kde I try copy file greater than 4GB to fat32 usb key, copy block to 4GB (fat32 limitation).
Thanks to fix it.

- What do you mean by "block" ?
- What do you see in the screen?

Comment 2 BRULE Herman 2009-11-21 18:04:11 UTC

It progress < 4GB, at 4GB it stop. The progression stop (not progress) at 4GB.

Comment 3 Michael Pyne 2009-11-21 18:48:47 UTC

The only fix we could implement would be to not even try the copy. You are correct that this is a FAT32 limitation, FAT32 is limited to 4GB file sizes.

When error is detected (4GB limitation) inform the user.
