Bug ID: 410950
Summary: New feature: Check file system compatibility
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: shaloksha...@protonmail.ch
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
The current file system landscape on removable devices is the same as 20 years
ago, especially from an end users perspective:
FAT32 is predominant here and despite KDE being a mainly a Linux oriented
desktop environment, a considerable significant amount of people interact with
these two file systems all the time.
This also includes interaction with Android and so on.
I suggest a new feature, that checks before a transition gets started if the
file names are correct and so on.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a file with a colon in its name to a casual sd-card.
2. See an error message which explains zero about the root cause.
3. Consider changing this. ;)
OBSERVED RESULT
The error message says zero about the true cause, or how to fix it.
EXPECTED RESULT
"This file can not be copied since the target file system (FAT32) does not
support the following characters:
" * / : < > ? \ | + , . ; = [ ]
Please change the file name or the targets file system.
