@ahihi@anticapitalist.party Yeah honestly as bad as this error is its 100x better than the typical "an error occurred" (or worse, errors that are just ignored) non message you get from Apple

@kalleboo@bitbang.social @ahihi@anticapitalist.party Yes absolutely. The only problem is the excess verbosity. Nobody cares that the file is sparse or that it's the precallocate operation failing. "Out of space" is the important part. And most contemporary garbage wouldn't even tell you that but would just say "Something went wrong". Ideal fix would be just showing "Out of space" by default, but with a place to click for more details and see the full version above.
