Description Dan Baston 2004-02-27 04:43:30 UTC 
Version:           3.2.0 (Using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204) (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:          Linux

Konqueror allows the renaming of a directory while files are being copied in to it.  The transfer of all files that have not been already written will then fail, as it can not find the directory as it was originally named.

Perhaps an "in use" error is needed to prevent renaming a directory in this situation.

  No, that's the wrong approach.  I think Konqueror has to lock into that 
directory somehow.  There's no way to prevent other apps from renaming the 
directory while konqueror is copying files.

Neither locking nor preventing to rename is really useful. But the error request could be more helpful in case of failure. Marking as duplicate of bug with that topic.
