In KDE Copy completed not always mean files were copied to USB flash drive - how to fix it?

I have noticed that when I copy files to flash disk and in UI I see message copy completed in notification area on task bar, usually copy is not completed. So, if I eject the media I loose data.
It is very serious problem because may cause loss of valuable and even critical data.
Moreover, when it displays copy completed message I see files on flash drive, but closer look show their size is 0. Actual copy of files takes more time if I wait without any indication it will complete copy in couple minutes.

My solution is to run sync command from the console every time when I get message copy completed - it solves the problem.

Is there better way to force write files in real time and not when it has a mood for?

NAME
Ukopp - copy files to USB stick or other disk or disk-like device SYNOPSIS
ukopp [ -nogui ] [ -job | -run ] jobfile DESCRIPTION
Ukopp is a graphical menu-driven program operating in its own window. Ukopp copies the files and directories specified in the job file to disk or disk-like media (e.g. USB stick). OVERVIEW
Ukopp works incrementally: only files that are not already identical on the target media are copied (new and modified files or files newly added to the backup job). Files/directories to include or exclude can be selected from the file system hierarchy, using a GUI navigator. Specifications are saved in a job file which can be re-edited and/or executed. Ukopp can be run in batch mode using the -nogui option. Ukopp can optionally keep old file versions instead of replacing them with updated versions. The retention time and/or the number of old versions to keep can be specified for each selected file or directory. File owners and permissions are retained even if the copy media has a Microsoft file system. Summary of functionality: - Copy files incrementally with optional file version retention. - Three media verification modes: full, incremental, compare. - Report disk:backup differences in detail or summary form. - Select and restore files from backup media or use drag and drop. OPTIONS
Command line options: [ -job ] jobfile open job file for editing [ -nogui ] -run jobfile execute a job file SEE ALSO
The online user manual is available using the menu Help > contents. This manual explains Ukopp operation in great detail. AUTHORS
