Description Christopher Yeleighton 2015-09-27 05:37:22 UTC

Dolphin fails after copying the first 4 GB of a large file when the target file is located on a FAT-formatted USB memory stick.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tell Dolphin to copy the file openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20150909-Media.iso to a FAT-formatted USB memory stick.


Actual Results:  
1. Dolphin copies the first 4 GB of the file, fails and leaves the target file incomplete.

Expected Results:  
1. Let Dolphin recognise that it cannot allocate such a large file on a target device and offer to split the file into parts.

That's due to the limitation of the FAT formatted memory stick. :)

Thanks for the report.

Alternatively, simply display an error message and tell the user that it's not possible to copy the file.

In any case, this looks like a KIO issue.

confirmed.

plasma: 5.12.3
framework: 5.44.0
application: 17.12.3

But even "cp" starts to copy the file and stops at 4 GiB (message "File too large") as well as rsync.
