You can also do the following: 1) Create a file on an NTFS drive called "Test.txt". 2) Rename it in Dolphin to "Test\n.txt" Dolphin will complain that the file cannot be renamed without saying why. However, it will show the file as it were renamed. If you hit F5 to refresh, the original filename is shown again. *** Bug 504259 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just some context, for what it's worth, on other related issues in other projects: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/9395 |
SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a file called "A\nB" on e.g. a BTRFS drive 2. Copy it in Dolphin (ctrl+c) and paste it onto an NTFS drive (ctrl+v) OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin shows an dialog saying that the file could not be written. Journalctl logs ``` dolphin[4647]: kf.kio.workers.file: copy() QUrl("file:///home/user/A%5CnB") to QUrl("file:///media/data/A%5CnB") mode= 420 ``` However, there's no further indication of what's wrong and why it cannot be copied. EXPECTED RESULT A specific error message, saying that the file contains an illegal character for NTFS, namely "\n".
