The bug happens with symbolic links on the same partition as well as different partitions or disks. e.g. Create a sub folder /home/user/Desktop/test/test_sub/ and then make a symbolic link for test_sub on the Desktop. Then try cutting and pasting a file from /home/user/Desktop/test/ to /home/user/Desktop/test_sub/ and it will give the prompt. I reproduced the bug on bare metal and in a guest in VMware. Thank you for your detailed report. This issue has already been reported - I've added the new information you provided in the comments. Let's track this bug over there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 421213 *** |
Created attachment 128351 [details] prompt window SUMMARY Cut and paste used to work but after the updates on 2020-05-10 it no longer works when pasting a folder or file to a symbolic link directory. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Dolphin to navigate to folder /home/user/Desktop/test/ 2. In that folder I want to move mytest.txt so I right click and choose Cut. 3. Navigate to my symlink folder /home/user/Desktop/notes/ and right click and Paste. OBSERVED RESULT You will get a prompt window that looks like below (see attachment): File Already Exists -- Dolphin An older item named '/home/user/Desktop/notes/' already exists. Rename: notes [Suggest New Name] EXPECTED RESULT The file or folder should be pasted without any prompt. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Neon on Ubuntu 18.04. Operating System: KDE neon 5.18 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Kernel Version: 4.15.0-99-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz Memory: 31.4 GiB of RAM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I didn't attempt to rename the file or folder since I do not know what will happen and I do not want to risk corruption. Using the mv command in Konsole still works fine. When I test moving a file or folder all located within Desktop sub directories on the same partition then I do not experience the problem.
