Version: 4.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) OS: Linux Diff a file which is a symlink, edit that file (such as applying changes), and then save the file. Kompare will replace (delete, add) the file rather than modify it, which deletes the symlink and adds a new real file. It would be preferred if the destination of the symlink was updated and the symlink preserved. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Diff a file which is a symlink, edit that file (such as applying changes), and then save the file. Actual Results: Kompare will replace (delete, add) the file. Expected Results: Kompare will modify the file. This is a bit of a corner case, but was encountered in the following scenario: Kompare is used within a script to process a set of files produced by another program (ie: git diff) but the user doesn't want to have kompare process all of the unchanged files in the same subtree. That script can create a temporary tree with just the changed files as symlinks for kompare to look at.
