Description kroot001 2022-12-27 00:38:48 UTC 
SUMMARY

When copying and pasting a file from Dolphin to the desktop by right clicking on the desktop and selecting "Paste One File" does not produce a notification that the operation failed if the file is too large. This causes the user to be unaware that the operation was unsuccessful and the reason for the failure.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a large file which exceeds the free space of the drive to the clipboard. This can be completed with either Ctrl+C or right clicking the file and select copy
2. Right click the desktop and select "Paste One File"

OBSERVED RESULT
The file is not copied and there is no notification that the paste operation failed. 

EXPECTED RESULT
A notification stating that there is not enough space on the disk to write the file. This notification is shown when pasting within Dolphin.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.1.1 Kernel
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4

Please ignore my attachment i falsely understood the bug. The notification appears when copying folders but the bug is about copying a big enough file
