[Bug 1417638] [NEW] Impossible to replace file on pendrive without deleting

 

Public bug reported:

Suppose there is a file abc.7z of 551 MB size on pendrive, you'd like to
replace it with a new one, same name, same location, size 552 MB.
Pendrive reports 353 MB free space, so you have 551+353=904 MB space to
copy a 552 MB file. Nautilus refuses to replace this file with a comment
"It requires 199 MB more free space to copy". I have to delete the file,
then it is possible to copy a new version.

Nautilus should consider current size of file existing on the pendrive
when calculating free space required to replace this file. In a terminal
cp command replaces the file without a problem.
