            Bug ID: 506282
           Summary: Dolphin does not report I/O failure when copying
                    multiple files
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 25.04.2
       Reported In:
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: ulterno at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When copying multiple files, if an I/O failure occurs Dolphin will not report
that and silently fail for that specific file, unlike when a single file is
copied where Dolphin will inform the user.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a directory with files at multiple levels in the directory tree.
2. Induce an I/O error ?? It was possible for me because my HDD is going bad.
3. Wait for all operations to finish and see the notifications

OBSERVED RESULT
No notification regarding failed file transfers

EXPECTED RESULT
Some kind of notification indicating failed file transfers

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Dolphin: 25.04.2
KDE Frameworks: 6.15.0
Qt: Using 6.9.1 and built against 6.9.1
EndeavourOS (Wayland)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.15.3-arch1-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When getting an I/O failure on a single file copy, I got a message box from
Dolphin saying "Could not read file " followed by the full file path. Something
similar for a multiple transfer is desirable.

Setting to a higher priority because if a user does a Copy and a Delete Source
operation, they might lose data.
