Bug Description

i cut an pasted to a full disk, pcmanfm reported an error about "splicing files failed"
this resulted in signifigant data loss.
see the mv command for proper operation. pcmanfm should fail gracefully.

1 more time, i'm moving files with cut and paste, but the operation failed. although the operation failed, pcmanfm deleted my files. pcmanfm should not delete files that were not actually moved.

**edit more info to reproduce.
mount a disk with less than 100mB free.
launch pcmanfm, use the cut option on a folder with 200mb of files
navigate to the mounted disk, paste.
should not lose 100mb of files

because the other bug is "fixed released" I'm disputing the duplicate status.

Please provide a clear specific set of steps to reproduce your issue, using the supposedly-fixed version of the packages concerned.

Note how bug #820865 provided a clear description of what to do, step by step, to duplicate its issue. Your bug #1003753 description is currently rather less clear, so it is harder for others to reproduce your issue when testing. It will help those investigating this issue if you can provide really clear information on exactly how to make the problem happen.
