Description:
The Issue: When I copy or move content to a removable drive, it may fill up without the whole being copied.
Currently konqueror or dolphin would show an extra dialog with 3 buttons, See 1st Screenshot with Cancel, Skip and AutoSkip.
In a disk full state all buttons work similarly (Actually Skip would skip the copy or move till a smaller file which can be copied is obtained, So in general you would be more interested to cancel the operation and try other means like compress it or get some files deleted at destination). In other cases Skipping would result in something you had never wished for.
My proposal is to add an extra button Rollback. The rollback would delete the copied items in case of a copy failure leaving the destination unaltered. It would revert back all the files moved in the case of a move.
I was thinking to ask for another button Retry like in windows but it may be bit overcrowded for the error dialog. Obviously many users will try again from start.
Asking for another piece of indulgence. Developers! are you hearing?
Kindly comment what do you feel!
Changelog:
31-July-2007
Added 3rd Screenshot as a warning before copying about the destination not having sufficient space.
Changed 2nd Screenshot to add Continue.
The download file contain old proposal.
Still the dialog does not look polished, However that is all required for now.
