            Bug ID: 16053
           Summary: no checking for filesystem limitations
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC (x86_64)
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: marc.andre.bender at hotmail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.8.10

files on filesystems are subject to certain constrains. So can files on Fat32
not exceed 4GB in size. copying a file (20Gb in my case) from in my case ntfs
to Fat32 will result in the file copying and getting stuck at 4GB no warning
about anything it will just wait for ever and basically do nothing because that
constraint can not possibly change. therefor: first check if the source file is
bigger than the biggest possible file in the targetfilesystem and then second
start copying or throw an error...
