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 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Testing (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 19.03 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53 Qt Version: 5.12 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
