            Bug ID: 448670
           Summary: File copy problem: offer extended options when copying
                    a file to a windows filesystem, which has a forbidden
                    character within its filename
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

For exaple: when ripping an audio CD to MP3, and the tracks are named by an
online database, it is possible that k3b will generate mp3 files with
characters like ":" "><" "?" "\". If you want to copy these files to an USB
drive or a SD card for your car, you run into problems because your car expects
a FAT32 media source. 

Trying to copy a file with : or ? in its name to a FAT32 device in Dolphin
leads to an ugly error. The attempt will be refused.

Suggestion: Make copying to FAT32 more user friendly. 

-check if the destination file system has "forbidden" characters. If so, show a
dialog with the options to abort copying or the option to make the destination
filename compatible on the fly.

-offer an option in the action menu: Rename File Windows Compatible
