Bug ID: 449422
Summary: Add overwrite smaller file (Overwrite by size)
Product: dolphin
Version: 21.12.1
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tygal...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 146106
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=146106&action=edit
Overwrite dialog showing the available options (no overwrite by size)
SUMMARY
There are times when coping files in dolphin that it finds files with the same
names and asks the action to take. The overwrite options available are
"Overwrite" and "Overwrite Older Files". This is great until you are copying
files and midway the operation stops and you have a half-written file, you
either have to recopy everything or risk having a half copied file as it will
match on dates
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a directory to an empty location
2. Copy the same directory over the previous destination
3. Cancel midway copying a large file
4. Will ask action to take
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no option to overwrite by file size, to allow only overwriting the
half-written file and missing files
EXPECTED RESULT
Overwrite by size, so that one does not have to recopy everything
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Given that dolphin first creates folders, tracking these half-written files
then becomes impossible especially for large file sets
