Description florian reischer 2008-10-12 10:36:36 UTC

Version:           1.1.80 (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I am renaming a folder for example "my Data" to "my data" and dolphin just vanishes without any error message. Still the folder is renamed correctly when i restart dolphin.

Hello Florian,

can you please provide a backtrace of the crash? You can find instructions
about that in:

Thanks!

I cannot reproduce with 4.1.2 (Kubuntu) and trunk rev. 870090. I tried on an ext3 partition (where renaming works fine) and a FAT partition (where I get an error dialog telling me I'm going to overwrite a file with the same name, that's because the FAT file system is case-insensitive).

A backtrace would really be helpful, and maybe you could also say what file system you used and if you need a particular view mode (Icons/Details/Columns), previews enabled/disabled or any other particular settings to reproduce this. Thanks!

Bug #174703, bug #173725 and bug #172643 seems similar.

Comment 4 Frank Reininghaus 2009-02-24 23:42:01 UTC

Because I'm still unable to reproduce this and there was no feedback, I assume that it works now. Maybe it was really a duplicate of bug 174703 which is fixed in 4.2.0. 

Please reopen the report if you can reproduce the crash in KDE 4.2.0 or later, describe in detail what you did before the crash and try to provide a backtrace. Thanks!
