0. I am copying thousands of files using dolphin to a folder, and this operation is taking like an hour... thousands of small files are taking that much time.. that's fine but..

1. with each successful copying, i am getting this
"could not change permission for.../media/ntfs_partition/filename" dialog

2. now in the mean time I want to use dolphin (same or any other instance of dolphin filemanager) to copy/browse a folder.

3. I am Denied the access to dolphin with this 'really annoying' "could not change permission for... filename" dialog.

4. All the instances of dolphin file managers are 'un usable'

to do some work with dolphin:
Either 

1. I have to pause the 'copying' and close the stupid dialog (or)
2. I have to stop/cancel the copying operation altogether.

I guess, I did report something related to 'annyoing popup' for 'copy operation'

but this is outright 'denial of service' 

Expected Behavior:
------------------
1. allow 'do not show this dialog' for 'unable to change permission for ... file' in ntfs/vfat file system. (like all mobile devices has this fat16 or fat32)
2. make dolphin's instances 'separate' like google chrome's 'separate tabs' if one tab stop responding, others still work.

thanks.

Reproducible: Always
