Description Andreas Mundt 2025-07-02 07:18:37 UTC

Hi,
dolphin seems not to evaluate permissions from ACLs when displaying a padlock icon (or not) to indicate access on files or directories. I reported the bug already in the Debian BTS https://bugs.debian.org/1108332 , but perhaps someone more familiar with the code can help here.  

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
  mkdir testACLs
  sudo chown nobody:nogroup testACLs
  sudo chmod 750 testACLs

A lock on the folder icon appears in dolphin, correctly indicating that the user cannot access the folder content.  Eventually reload dolphin pressing F5.

  touch testACLs/file   →  permission denied
  sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:rwx testACLs
  touch testACLs/file   →  works fine

OBSERVED RESULT
The padlock icon remains in dolphin.

EXPECTED RESULT
The padlock icon disappears when the user has access.

ACL permission are not properly checked anymore.

Seems like a regression from https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1221
