SUMMARY When I open a fat32 device with Dolphin and try to create a symlink via context menu of files view, I see a dialog saying this: Could not create symlink "/my/symlink". The destnation filesystem (FAT) does not support symlinks. However, when I drag a file and drop it on a fat32 device in Places panel and choose "Link here" from the context menu, Dolphin displays this inline error message: Cannot transfer ‘file:///media/device/file’ because it is too large. The destination filesystem only supports files up to 4GiB Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland

Git commit 8e87461c6368d446152e87b6a804e0359e171134 by Méven Car, on behalf of Ahmad Samir. Committed on 21/10/2021 at 07:43. Pushed by ahmadsamir into branch 'master'. CopyJob: handle the no-op case of symlinks on FAT partitions This copies some code from file_unix (see commit c27196acc33243db1da) to CopyJob, since the latter is a more central place, we can catch more symlink operations. And as noted by dfaure in the MR, the code in file_unix is still needed for the use case of apps using FileCopyJob directly and not CopyJob. Split the msdos filesystem related code to a separate method, more readable this way, I hope.
