Description postix 2022-09-18 12:56:22 UTC

SUMMARY

When copying files to e.g. a USB drive, Dolphin may stop at some point saying "Could not make folder <path>" and discards the complete copy job.

At this point there are already some files copied over and many empty folders created.
It'd convenient therefore if Dolphin did not stop the whole process, but continued with the other files.

During the copying or afterwards Dolphin could report and ask what to do with the files, which could not be copied.

It'd be very helpful if Dolphin printed a list of problematic files, which the user can then use to copy some files manually afterwards or to investigate potential issues.

For instance, try to copy a bunch of files to an NTFS drive, where a single file contains some illegal characters, like "IsThisTheSong?.mp3" or "11:11.mp3".

I see, Dolphin asks at some point whether to "skip" the file or not, but it takes minutes until it shows it, which makes it look like it's totally broken.

And even after saying "skip all", it still hangs. It is no fun, especially, when you are in a hurry.

When I copied files from BTRFS to Android MTP, one file contained a "?" in its filename. The copy process started to stuck.
I cancelled it and tried to copy it again, but it the progress slider just slides back and forth and journalctl reports

```

I'd like to push this one. I just copied 500 GB from A to B, left the computer and came back 2 hours later, when it should have finished.
However, it did stopped copying in the middle after roughly 250 GB because a single file could not be written. This is super annoying!
