Bug#313426: libgnomevfs2-0: no error handling for non existent files (xfer)

[Jesse van den Kieboom]

Package: libgnomevfs2-0
Version: 2.10.1-4
Severity: important

When using gnome_vfs_async_xfer I expected that when an uri is specified
which targets a non existent file, that the sync_transfer callback would
be called notifying that the current file does not exist and couldn't
be tranferred. It should than continue with files still pending.

At the moment this doesn't happen! When a file does not exists the whole
process ends. Pending files aren't transfered and no error message
whatsoever is notified. This makes the xfer function unusable for me. I
could of course first query whether the files exist, but this should be
handled in the xfer functions in my opinion.
