Description bluescreenavenger 2018-12-16 18:17:01 UTC

SUMMARY
Folder copies pause when encountering FIFOs or Socket files. Copying a folder with these objects, and you get a prompt to [Retry], [Skip], [AutoSkip], or [Cancel]. The cp command does have the ability to copy FIFOs and Sockets (But only if you specify the -a or -r flag)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run kioclient5 copy $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR /tmp/testcopy
   There are many socket files in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR typically...
   No FIFO's usually, but a fifo can be created with mkfifo

OBSERVED RESULT
You get the prompt that it could not read the files, and have the choice to Retry, Skip, AutoSkip, Cancel. 
Any other normal file will copy fine. (for another test, I created a large directory with 100,000 subdirectories, 1,399,990 files, 10 FIFOs, and everything copied, except the FIFOs.)

EXPECTED RESULT
While it might be useless to copy FIFOs and Sockets, it might not be best to have it pause the whole operation. Maybe if possible, copy the FIFO or socket the same way that "cp -a" or "cp -r" would, for minimal interruption

Comment 2 bluescreenavenger 2023-01-19 00:28:39 UTC

I made sure that I created a FIFO in my XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and the Wayland socket file existed, seems that it doesn't hang now

Comment 3 bluescreenavenger 2023-01-19 00:29:22 UTC

It skips the FIFOs and the sockets instead of hanginh, which I think is acceptable
