SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make a soft symlink of a folder from NTFS (USB storage HDD in this scenario) on your home drive using /ln -s
2. move the symlinked folder to another location (don't know if necessary for the bug to occur) using dolphin.
3. open symlinked folder and rename file. in this case I renamed a 2.1 gb .safetensors file that I created on old windows 11 system.

OBSERVED RESULT

the folder will now disappear from being viewable in dolphin from both symlinked and original location. you can do ls -la to see that it still exists with it's new filename but without any user/group permissions or other metadata. attempting to copy, move, rename or delete the file with root permissions will give you I/O error.

Comment 1 Triango Nera 2023-08-25 21:15:39 UTC

Sorry I'm missing some crucial information from my bugreport. The file might have been loaded into my RAM/VRAM while I was renaming it, which could have been the course of the issue. I used to do that I lot on windows without issues but so I didn't consider it as an issue at the time.
