Hello,
Was copying some files from my android phone using dolphin and i accidently aborted the copy (fairly sure I selected copy, not move)
the files are now gone from my phone
why would copying a batch of pictures delete it on the source if I clicked copy
any ideas?
Hi! I’m not seeing any known, existing bug reports for that specifically - is it something you’re able to reproduce by repeating the steps you followed, and seeing if the situation repeats?
There are many variables here - overall, though, connecting USB-C to USB-C I found that mounting my Android phone (giving permission on the phone) and moving files has ALWAYS failed safe for me.
I would not expect normal USB to be less reliable, though perhaps a little slower.
When the move fails (once my son kicked the cable and disconnected during moving a few thousand music files) the files weren’t lost.
I have had issues, however, which were caused by purchasing a low priced microSD card - it failed frequently and this is because many online sources have fake goods.
BTW –Welcome to the KDE Discuss forum!
Did you connect to the pocket telephone by means of a USB cable or, did you use “KDE Connect”?
– Accessing the pocket telephone via KDE Connect – the menu entry “Dieses Gerät durchsuchen”:
– The resulting Dolphin window of the pocket telephone’s directories:
thanks for responses, I’ll try to reproduce it
my hunch is the large number of files is the root cause or at least plays a part in this
since I tried with some a small amount of large files and could not reproduce.
@Franken14679 I did not use pocket telephone, I just plug my phone into my computer, and it prompts me on my phone to allow usb host to access files on phone.
@ben2talk I was using a usb c to usb c. I’m also not using a microsd card, my phone doesn’t have external storage.
Yes, there are various names for mobile telephone devices – the international specifications use terms such as “User Equipment” and “Mobile Equipment” but, I prefer the definition made around about 1920 –
