+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #125102 +++ Version: 4.6.5 (using KDE 4.6.5, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 4.4.5 OS: Linux (adm64) release 2.6.38-gentoo-r6 Locally Move file a large file from pathA to pathB Cancel before completion Result The original is left in pathA In pathB there is an incomplete copy of foobar. This causes problems in the following scenario. 1) Copy large number of files from flaky CDROM 2) An error causes the process to be interrupted. 3) {lastfile} is incomplete 4) Copy files again, select overwrite 5) Get stuck doing steps 1-4 6) Alternative choice, select skip existing files 7) Repeat until all files are retrieved [Yes, I had to do that] But there are now unknown incomplete files. Recommendation (for both copy/move): copy to foobar.part rename to foobar only upon completion if user cancels delete foobar.part Why this way? Even if the computer crashes the user will know that foobar.part is an incomplete file. What happens if the user looks in target directory see the incomplete foobar, assumes the process was complete, deletes original. Also, if something is referring to foobar it will not be able to reference the incomplete foobar.part.
I don't see it. How is this bug different from bug 125102?

Sorry, that was unclear. I meant I don't see the difference between the two (identical) bugs.
