Description gtg261s 2003-02-24 15:39:34 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

Sometimes when I am copying lots of files across the network, I get some error (like name conflicts, etc something normal) and I would like for there be a way for files to continue copying in the background without pausing the copy job.  (This is usually a problem when getting files from a friends computer and I have already gotten one or somthing).

This is still a serious problem for KDE 4.5.  Any error, even a file name conflict, stops the entire process cold.  It should be able to continue to transfer the other files in the background, loading up a queue of conflict in the background.  

Of course folder conflicts need to block the transfer of the folder contents, though.  But file name conflicts should not block the transfer of other non-conflicting files.

I think this is a KIO problem, rather than a konqueror one.  I think it should be re-assigned to KIO.

And the worst thing is, no hardly notice. No blinking in the taskbar, nothing. Just dolphin gets a dialog window “xyz could not  be copied. Skip/Skip All” which you will never encounter if you minimized Dolphin‘s window.

I think a GSOC project has fixed this.

Comment 4 J. Andrew Lanz-O'Brien 2013-06-09 19:42:16 UTC

This bug is still present in KDE 4.10.4 on Arch Linux.

Comment 5 Nate Graham 2018-04-16 19:25:42 UTC

Is this still an issue with KDE Frameworks 5.45 or greater?

Comment 6 Patrick Silva 2018-05-05 14:07:01 UTC

still an issue on Arch Linux, kio 5.45, it affects both local and remote (via Samba) file copy.
File operation does not continue in background when a file conflict dialog appears.
