Bug ID: 441567
Summary: Dolphin allows file rename and then silently fails
even though the user does not have write permission
Product: dolphin
Version: 21.08.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: 2wxsy5823...@opayq.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Even though the user does not have write permission to a file, the rename
option is still available and a new name can be entered. Then Dolphin silently
fails to rename the file due to insufficient permission.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. `sudo touch test.txt` to create a file owned by root with mode 644.
2. As a non-root user, rename the file via right-click menu or F2.
OBSERVED RESULT
File rename dialog pops up and the user can submit a new name.
The file will not be renamed because the user does not have write permission.
However, Dolphin will not give any error message.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should disable the rename option if the user does not have enough
permission, or at least output an error message that the rename operation
failed.
