            Bug ID: 13751
           Summary: Warn on copying files too large for file system (e.g.
                    5G file to vfat)
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.10
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org

  Target Milestone: 1.8.0

Currently, copying a 5G file to a vfat drive will first spend a lot of time
copying, then give a message "error splicing file", fortunately also mentioning
that the file size was too large. 

It'd be nice if Thunar could notice that it's copying into a vfat file system
and mention *before trying* that it won't be possible to copy such a large
file.
