Description postix 2020-11-08 11:14:05 UTC

When you eg copy files with Dolphin it may happen that some files are not copyable and need to be skipped in order to proceeed.
In this case the transmission will be interrupted and a dialog will popup in Dolphin.

If you now have Dolphin minimized, you won't notice anything but that the copy progress in the notification popup is stalled. 

It would be convenient if a hint eg in a red colored rectangle would be displayed in the copy progress notification:
"Copying interrupted. [Click to open Dolphin]"

In case the progress dialog was minimized / hidden, it may show up again on + the message above.

WOuld need to be implemented either in Dolphin (which spawns the copy job and could register to monitor its status) or in the overwrite dialog (which lives in KIO, and could maybe bubble up a hint if its parent window is mimimized). Moving to KIO for a start.

I can't reproduce this issue with current KIO, if Dolphin is minimised, the window is un-minimised and the rename/overwrite dialogue is shown; it might have been indirectly fixed by switching KIO::CopyJob to use the async AskUserActionInterface, which happened in 5.78.

Can you still reproduce this issue?

I am on Plasma 5.24.5 now using a Wayland session: 

I have tried to copy some files to an Android phone (MTP), where some of them were not copy-able

1) The small dialog window, which shows that files could not be copied, appears indeed now, however like ~10-20 seconds after the notification started to stall

2) The dialog is just shown on the current virtual desktop, so it may be missed, if you switch the VD in the meantime

Do you think 1) and 2) could be addressed? Shall I open a new bug report?

If I switch to another virtual desktop, I get a blinking Dolphin icon in the task manager on the panel, probably from windows requiring attention.

Not sure what causes 1).

Let's close it, because the original bug has been resolved.
