Dario Ruellan (druellan) wrote : Cancelling a file transfer should delete the incomplete file on the destination path

This is not a bug but a possible usability improvement.

Test case:
 - Open Nautilus
 - Split panes using F3
 - Copy/move a big file form one pane 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.
