Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Dolphin/Konqueror create first the folder(s) before wrting the files later then into them. This is sometimes bad when you cancel the copy proecess , then you do not know wich directorys are empty and wich not. Please add a checkbox for enable or disable this feature. I wish dolphin would do copy like nautilus/windows explorer , and only create the folder when needed - just in time - and not before the entire copy process.
Doesn't seem likely, sorry. Instead, KIO should just clean up after itself better; see Bug 125102.
