Any plans to add limitations of filesystem to the call like maximum file size? I know its mostly relevant for just for FAT32, but on any account rather than trying to write 4 GiB and then file, it would be good to at some time get a dialog at the beginning of the copy.Adding filesystem limits can be done. I got a shopping list of things people wanted a while back and I've worked off of that list. I can add other things - that's on of the reasons I left room for expansion.
Cool, thank you for bringing this forward. I am teaching in my Linux trainings since years that one day one will be able to see file creation time with stat shell command, actually mentioning ideas to make some xstat/statx system call. :) Thanks, -- Martin
