Bug ID: 422464 Summary: Drag and drop to symlinked folder fails with "already exists" Product: plasmashell Version: 5.18.5 Platform: PCLinuxOS OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: kde.b...@kjpetrie.co.uk CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY If a file is dragged to a folder via a symbolic link a dialogue box opens asking whether to rename it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a symbolic link to a folder, eg ln -s Documents Desktop/Documents 2. Create a file on the Desktop eg touch Desktop/testfile 3. Drag testfile to the Documents link and select Move. OBSERVED RESULT A "File already exists" dialogue box opens offering to rename the link or Cancel the move. EXPECTED RESULT The file would move to the target folder SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.18.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is very annoying. I have links to folders specifically to facilitate moving items to and from those folders with minimal effort to avoid typing long paths or clicking them in Dolphin, and now I can't use them. It appears to be a KDE problem rather than the underlying system as everything still works as expected in LXDE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
