Description Romain Henriet 2010-10-10 20:43:24 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

If you have a symlink that leads to a file bigger than your trash, and want to send that link into the trash, dolphin says your trash is full.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Find a file that is bigger than your trash (or reduce your trash size)
2) Create a symbolic link to that file
3) Send that link to the trash in dolphin


Actual Results:  
A dialog box appears to say that the trash is full.

Expected Results:  
The link should be deleted

I failed to reproduce the reported problem using KDE SC 4.8 RC1. Does it still happens in recent versions?

Comment 2 Romain Henriet 2012-01-01 18:39:45 UTC

It still happens in KDE 4.7.4.
I can't say for 4.8 RC1.

I was wrong. It still happens in 4.8 RC2.

Comment 4 Adrian Friedli 2012-11-25 16:40:03 UTC

I get something similar while just copying symlinks in dolphin. If the link target is bigger than the remaining space on the harddisk, copying fails with this error "Could not write file . Disk full.". I'm using KDE 4.8.4 from Debian unstable.
