Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
i got my music (over 40G) structure as follows :
80's -> on 2 folders : '80-84' and '85-89'
90's -> on 2 folders : '90-94' and '95-99'
and so on...
on each one of them i got the following sub-folders :
ballads, rock, dance, pop
then i select 3 of this main folders ('85-89','90-94','95-99') and
pasted them on a backup hard disk. as a backup hdd, it had much of the
same folders and files, so it came up a dialog, of what i wanted to
do...i choose replace them all (this is a translated option, don't know
exact words in english).
the copy stop at some point of the first copy folder ('85-89'), and it
didn't copy the rest of it. even more, it removes the rest of the
files. so on '90-94', for example, i got the other 4 sub-folders with
nothing at all inside of them!!!
then, i made some test...
1º i made a copy on destination hdd (the backup hdd), but before i
delete all files and folders. the copy was good.
2º made a copy on destination with already existing files and folders
(the same file and folders), the dialog appears and choose the
same...replace them all. the copy stop again at some point.
3º made a sub-folder copy to destination with already existing copy, the
copy fails again with some file.
4º made a sub-folder to sub-folder copy (i get into de subfolder, so i
saw just files, no folder). the replacement copy works over the existing
files.
so i did this last one over the rest of the sub-folders.
some notes on this bug :
- source folder is on fat32, destination folders are on ext3.
- large filenames, like :
Whitney Houston - i wanna dance with somebody - 12''.mp3
(didn't include the path)
- iso8859-1 characters filenames. like :
Zalo Reyes - Motivo Y Razón.mp3
(but this type of files are copied anyway with the 4º method)
with more time, will try to do it on command line. but some guy take
this to be in contact. cu
