Yep, I was not only dealing w/ this specific situation of copying file from
ext2 to vfat (it was nothing but an example). Any kind of I/O error will
produce this skip/retry/abort dialog, and to me it would be nice to be able
to skip all for each of the possible errors. Glad to see that I'm not the
only one who wish such feature!
