Description Patrick Silva 2017-07-30 15:00:20 UTC

Some days ago I tried copy an ISO file (4,4 GiB) to my pen drive formatted with FAT32 file system. When the copy operation reached the file size limit of FAT32 (4 GiB), dolphin shown an error message.
Can kde team improves dolphin behavior in this situations please? Thanks.

So you'd prefer that error message be displayed before the copy starts, to avoid wasting the user's time?
