Description Franz Holzinger 2009-07-03 13:32:57 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

I transfer a 4.3 big ISO image to the USB harddrive which is formatted in FAT32. After having coied 4 GByte it ends up in the error dialog 'Cannot write to file name.iso'. It should have told me before the start of the file transfer that a FAT32 cannot get a file which is larger than 4 GByte.

I agree: a check of the max filesize should be done for every destination filesystem.

Yes, and as additional "feature" it would be gourgeus if dolphin split authomatically big files make -almost- transparent for user experience

"transeferred" spelling mistake appears in diff. Or has it been fixed before final version?
Comment 12 Nate Graham 2018-12-08 04:57:34 UTC
It's been fixed now.
Comment 13 Patrick Silva 2018-12-17 18:37:06 UTC
Is the fix already available on neon dev unstable?
I see no error message when I try to copy a file bigger than 4 gib to my pen drive formatted with fat32 file system.
Comment 14 Christoph Feck 2019-01-09 02:49:38 UTC
Patrick, 5.54 might not have deployed by the time you tested it, but should be available now. Could you re-test?

Situation remains the same on neon dev unstable.
