Description Jeffrey 2012-07-20 19:07:16 UTC

An interruption such as "Cannot read file /path/to/file/" causes a popup on Dolphin, asking if I want to retry, skip, autoskip, etc.  I'd really like dolphin to keep working in the background while it waits for me to answer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to copy
2. Get a Permission error and pause the copy process
3. The whole operation stops while Dolphin waits for an answer
Actual Results:  
The whole operation stops while Dolphin waits for an answer

Expected Results:  
Errors are queued up to be dealt with when the user is available, but the other copy/move operations continue in the background.

Perhaps for a Move, the source files aren't removed until these permission issues are all sorted out and answered.  We don't want the files to be split up from one another and only halfway moved.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

I can understand this wish, but would add an even more desirable feature here:

I would strongly recommend to add a "retry" button, because I tend to lose single files when copying from slow network drives. File not available -> skip/autoskip, and in the end,
several files will be missing... 

Probably worth another bug.

But also about "keep on copying".

I also wonder it what cases partly copied files are kept - on which they are not.

Thanks for the report. Copying files and reporting errors is handled by KIO.
