           Summary: Cannot copy files when destination has insufficient
                    space even if duplicates would be skipped

SUMMARY
Suppose you have disk A with 10GB space and a folder with 6GB of files on some
other disk.
Copying the folder to disk A the first time works just fine. Copying the folder
to disk A again fails, even if the user would have selected "skip" for
duplicate files. In other words, the bug is that the destination size is
checked before the prompt for "skip duplicate files" is presented.

This toy example doesn't matter much, but it does matter for merging large
folders onto a single drive. E.g. 1TB drive, with 600GB folders on 3 separate
drives with 90% duplicate files. It would be nice to use Dolphin's GUI rather
than the terminal for merging those folders on the 1TB drive.
