Re: Recursive copies in dired abort on first error

[Richard Stallman]

    However, there's still no indication of failed copies in the
    echo area or the *Messages* buffer. :-(

Can you debug why not?  The cond at the end of dired-create-files is
supposed to call dired-log-summary, which should call message.  Please
debug the code in dired-create-files to see why this doesn't do that
job.

If you put a (debug) call before this code

    (cond
     (dired-create-files-failures
      (dired-log-summary
       (format "%s failed for %d of %d file%s"
                operation (length dired-create-files-failures) total
                (dired-plural-s total))
       dired-create-files-failures))

you can (1) see if it really gets there, and (2) look at the
value of dired-create-files-failures, which ought to contain
a list of the file names that had trouble.
