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.
