Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) Compiler: gcc 4.3.2 OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages Step to reproduce: 1. Start to move (or copy) multiple files into a directory. 2. While the first file is moved, rename this directory. 3. When the next file in the queue is moved an error happen. Expected results: - The file should be moved / copied into the new directory name. or - In the case of files that are moved, restore the files into their original directory (to avoid a loss of data).
Can you explain "loss of data"? As far as I see, either a file is moved before the rename, so it is also present in the renamed directory, or the file should be moved after the rename, but this fails, so the file stays in the old source directory. If I understood this wrong, please clarify. If this can indeed lead to data loss, the severity should be raised.
Hello Christoph, I tried to reproduce the bug on Gentoo (kde 4.2.4) and Archlinux (4.3-svn) without success. It seems to me that the bug is finally solved. Before, when I tried to move files (from one disk to another) they disappeared from their source location first, and if I were renaming the destination, the files remaining in the queue were lost.
Thanks for testing, after further investigation, this might actually be a duplicate that got fixed with commit r917169. WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=917169 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 118593 ***
