SUMMARY
If I leave a folder open in a Dolphin window and then delete that folder, when I try to paste a file there, it will not copy it and will not show any error message either.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new folder somewhere.
2. Open that folder in Dolphin.
3. In a different Dolphin window, delete the folder that was just created and which is still opened.
4. Try to copy-paste some file to the recently-deleted folder which is still open in another Dolphin window, through Dolphin's own copy-paste functionalities.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, and no indication of what is wrong is shown.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should show an error message saying that the destination folder no longer exists, and offer to create it right there in order to paste the file.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can confirm. Dolphin should probably detect when a folder that's currently open has been deleted--at least if it was done by Dolphin itself in another tab or instance.
