Description Luke-Jr 2014-06-04 21:32:45 UTC

If I list a bunch of files on gwenview's commandline, it makes a temporary directory with symlinks to each of them. If I then click on a picture and use the File->Copy To menu option, it then copies that symlink to the destination - so I end up with a symlink rather than a copy. Since the original file may be temporary and/or otherwise later deleted, I consider this a Critical bug.

Reproducible: Always
