Version: (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux Installed from: openSUSE RPMs Placing a link to a file somewhere, then editing it e.g. with Kate creates the backup file ...~ in the folder where the link is located, it should be placed alongside the link's target as if the file had been opened directly.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended...
I was in doubt too but from a user perspective the current behavior doesn't make much sense. If I link to a text file on my desktop I don't expect a backup file to pop up next to it. Likewise having multiple different backup files in different locations for one single target file is counterintuitive.
