Seems to be (still) a problem on Nautilus 3.6.3: if you cancel a file copy, the unfinished file is left over in the destination folder (without any indication the file is not complete). The upstram bug seems very old (targetting version 2.16.x), I'll try to reopen it on the 3.x branch, and reasign the bug here.
** Summary changed: - Cancelling a file transfer should delete the incomplete file on the destination path + Canceled copy/move operations should not left incomplete files -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072135 Title: Canceled copy/move operations should not left incomplete files Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is not a bug but a possible usability improvement. Test case: - Open Nautilus - Open a second folder on a tab - Copy/move a big file form one tab to another - Cancel the transfer using the X button. The unfinished file remains on the destination folder, now, since this file is incomplete (possibly unusable) and the user directly stated that he/she don't want to transfer this file, I think that is safer to delete the destination copy alltogether. Otherwise could be indexed and cause some confusion.
