Hi,

Unfortunately, no.  For two reasons:

1. it actually happens inside Glib and isn't in our control
2. the temporary may be renamed back to the original file, so it has
to be on the original volume

This behaviour happens if new files do not create with the same
permissions and other metadata as the original, then Glib copies the
old data to a temporary and writes over the original keeping the
metadata, but as you say this requires three file transfers instead of
one.  Maybe you could investigate why the permissions or other
metadata of new files does not match the original.

Note that you can save the transfers at some risk if you don't use
safe file saving, but I wouldn't do that for remote files, they are
the ones that are going to fail, so you are back where you started :(

Cheers
Lex
