This is not actually a bug. The documentation for KIO::move says:
* @param flags: We support HideProgressInfo here
Which means, Overwrite is not supported there.
setUiDelegate(0) would make it abort instead of asking the question, but that's not exactly what you want either.
I can see the point in adding support for KIO::Overwrite in KIO::move and KIO::copy, so this is a valid request for 4.5, but it's not a bug, sorry ;)
But maybe it would be better to add a setOverwriteAllFiles() instead, given that it complements the existing setWriteIntoExistingDirectories(true)...
Anyway, for single files, you definitely want to use file_move instead.
Hi, anything new in this area? I can see this note in API docs: "supports HideProgressInfo and Overwrite" for KIO::move(), KIO::copy() anf other functions. http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kio/html/namespaceKIO.html#a105292786e2c340dc48192c48d605944 So Overwrite is allowed there and if wouldn't work, then there's a bug in docs or in the code. Is this still an issue in KDE Frameworks 5.45? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Version: (using KDE 4.3.4) Installed from: openSUSE RPMs When the following code KIO::CopyJob *copyjob = KIO::move(tempfile.fileName(), helper_stationlistXmlFilepath(), KIO::HideProgressInfo | KIO::Overwrite); is executed, a question is displayed if the user really wants to overwrite the file. It seems that the flag "KIO::Overwrite" is ignored. Workaround for single files: KIO::FileCopyJob *copyjob = KIO::file_move(tempfile.fileName(), helper_stationlistXmlFilepath(), -1, KIO::HideProgressInfo | KIO::Overwrite); works fine and doesn't display an overwrite warning.
