As described in the summary, copying a file when another file with the same name already exist lead to an unexplicit error. See the joined screenshot to see the error box appearing. [clement@T470-clement ~]$ pacman -Si gvfs-mtp Repository : extra Name : gvfs-mtp Version : 1.32.1+3+gd852665e-1 ---------------------------- [clement@T470-clement ~]$ pacman -Si nautilus Repository : extra Name : nautilus Version : 3.24.2-1 ----------------------------
No screenshot.
Created attachment 356460 [details] Screenshot of the error message box Eh, sorry. Was pretty sure I picked it, but it seems at messed at some point. You should now have it.
As stated in bug 785391 (which is definitely linked to this one), this problem actually only occur when trying to do device to device copy (SD card to SD card, internal phone's memory to internal phone's memory or one of those to the other one). Copy from PC to device or device to PC behave correctly even when a file with the same name already exist. When the problem occur, there's this pop-up window with the error, and there's no copy finally done.
I'm closing this as a dupe of your first bug. The problem here is that the copy is going wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 785391 ***
