Bug ID: 402202
Summary: Folder copies pause when encountering FIFOs or Socket
files
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: git master
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: HTTP
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bluescreenaven...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Folder copies pause when encountering FIFOs or Socket files. Copying a folder
with these objects, and you get a prompt to [Retry], [Skip], [AutoSkip], or
[Cancel]. The cp command does have the ability to copy FIFOs and Sockets (But
only if you specify the -a or -r flag)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run kioclient5 copy $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR /tmp/testcopy
There are many socket files in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR typically...
No FIFO's usually, but a fifo can be created with mkfifo
OBSERVED RESULT
You get the prompt that it could not read the files, and have the choice to
Retry, Skip, AutoSkip, Cancel.
Any other normal file will copy fine. (for another test, I created a large
directory with 100,000 subdirectories, 1,399,990 files, 10 FIFOs, and
everything copied, except the FIFOs.)
EXPECTED RESULT
While it might be useless to copy FIFOs and Sockets, it might not be best to
have it pause the whole operation. Maybe if possible, copy the FIFO or socket
the same way that "cp -a" or "cp -r" would, for minimal interruption
