Hey, I loved to take over this wish. I need some help finding the source code though. This is my first time coding for KDE, I can't wait to start. David, I think you are assigned this report, what do you think? Hmmm.... I found the source code: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kio/kio/renamedialog.cpp?revision=1170488&view=markup And my apologies, Holger Freyther is the one running the show now. Davis, can you close this once you commit my fix? Well it actually renames the file on the left (in its new place), not the file on the right :-) SVN commit 1184956 by dfaure: Applied patch from Steven Sroka "Minor GUI change to rename/overwrite dialog window" REVIEW: 5443 BUG: 238942 M +113 -63 renamedialog.cpp M +5 -2 renamedialog.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1184956 |
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux Hi, this isn't really a bug, I know. But it's something that will leave quite some people confused: When copying same-name files, dolphin opens a dialogue asking if "the file on the left" should really be overwritten with "the file on the right". So far, so good. But implemented is also a funtion to rename the file. This (i.e., the textedit) sits right under the left ("old") file so I thought I was renaming the left one and I didn't realize until a few files later... I know it's actually logical which one will be renamed, but please consider redesigning a little as this should be a very common mistake, especially if someone overlooks the top text. Also, this dialogue should not be blocking all of the dolphin instances. This made discovering my error harder, as I had to find another file manager first! Reproducible: Always
