Description mrDoctorWho 2025-04-19 10:26:28 UTC
I have two folders on different disks: 5 and 10 files each. The second folder duplicates those 5 files from the first folder. The first disk is almost full, but all 10 files from the second disk can fit into it (meaning 10 unique files). If I try to copy all 10 files from the second folder, dolphin refuses the copy, saying that the first disk is full. Instead of this, I expect dolphin to suggest to replace the existing files / skip copying the duplicates, because all files can fit into the first disk, just without duplicates.

OBSERVED RESULT

Dolphin wrongly reports of not enough disk space.

EXPECTED RESULT

There is enough disk space if we overwrite/skip the duplicates. Dolphin should support that.
