Description Jeffrey 2012-11-30 18:15:02 UTC

Copying files from one drive to another, if the destination drive fills up KDE stops copying.  I don't know where it stops, what isn't copied, etc.

I'd really like to resume this copying after making space available.  I assume the behaviour is the same for moving files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy music files to phone or other drive
2. Destination drive fills up
3. Missing files are unknown; I have to restart the copy process
Actual Results:  
Copying stops, I have to start over after freeing up space.

Expected Results:  
Copy/move is put on pause and gives me the chance to free up space and resume to copying

Reassign to KIO or whatever if required.  Thanks for KDE!

Thanks for the report! KIO looks indeed like the right product for this because this is where copying and moving files is handled.

Moreover, I'd say that this is more a wishlist item than a bug because stopping the copying process if the target device is full looks like a valid reaction to me, even though I agree that a way to resume the process once some space is freed would be nice.
