Comment 2 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2008-01-23 19:43:48 UTC 
shouldn't you add g_file_copy_finish to the symbols file as well?

Yes Wouter, thank you!
Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2008-01-24 11:06:22 UTC 
There are two issues with this patch:
1) There is no way to override the behaviour in the backend.
   g_file_copy_async() should call a virtual method with a default implementation

2) The progress callbacks should be called on the main thread, not in the I/O thread.

I fixed these issues and commited to svn. Can you please test the commited code (I assume you have some use for this call).
Comment 5 Carlos Garcia Campos 2008-01-24 11:25:23 UTC 
Yes, I used this simple program (http://people.freedesktop.org/~carlosgc/gfilecopy.c) and it works.
