Description Eduardo Pérez Ureta 2005-12-17 21:59:20 UTC
Please describe the problem:
This is the use case:
I have lots of files in a network share and most of them are also on a folder on
my gnome computer.
I select all on the source network share and move them to the folder on my gnome
computer where some of them are.
I have not much space in my computer to move all of them so the "You don't have
Enoch free space" kicks in.
But I really wanted to overwrite the conflicting files and for sure I have the
space needed to copy the extra ones.

Will you remove the free space check before any operation? and just check if the
files got copied correctly?

(another case for incorrect working of this free space check is when you are
coping files and other program is also coping files and at the end there's not
enough free space)


Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Thanks for your bug. That's not a common usecase, updating settings according to that
Comment 2 Eduardo Pérez Ureta 2005-12-26 17:51:54 UTC
Could you confirm the bug?
What solution do you propose?
(I can send you a patch that removes the free disk space check before the operation to make the use case work)
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-27 10:16:56 UTC
I don't confirm the bug because I'm not sure what nautilus hackers what to do about that, they may reject the feature request. Removing the free space check is not a good idea. Maybe the dialog should have a "copy" "cancel" choice though
