Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 9.10, nautilus 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3

How to recreate:
Use Nautilus to copy a large number of files from an unencrypted file system to 
an ecryptfs file system.
Make sure that at least one of the files has a file name that is too long for 
ecryptfs (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/344878 )

Expected behavior:
Nautilus should open a dialog to inform the user that there was an error, but 
should continue copying the remaining files.

Actual behavior:
Nautilus opens a dialog to inform the user that there was an error, and pauses 
the file transfer until the user chooses an action.

Why this is a bug:
Large file transfers often take hours, and are left unattended by users.  
Pausing for user interaction forces the user to babysit the process.

the reporter talks about the paused file transfer as a side issue, not the main 
focus of the bug.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339420  - this is an upstream bug 
that reports the same behavior; it was filed in 2006 and never triaged.
