Description Turbo 2015-05-06 05:29:22 UTC 
If you try to overwrite a file with the same name, there is an empty dialogue with file name detail only.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Dolphin. Press F3 for Split View (easier this way).
2. Set a folder on every side, with one or more repeated file(s) on each.
3. Drag repeated file(s) from one side to the other and click on Copy.
4. Look at the confirming dialogue.

Actual Results:  
The dialogue ask if you want to overwrite the destination's file(s) but it only shows the file name. The other fields necessary to compare -and decide- like Date, Size, etc. are missing.

Expected Results:  
The missing info MUST be showed so you can choose if overwrite or not.

If you cant see the Date, Size, is VERY difficult to decide your action course. Right now you must resort to trickery in order to be sure you are not making a disaster, overwriting the wrong file(s) (i.e. force Detailed View all the time).

This bug is several years old now. Is still present in Kubuntu 14.04 with full updates and probably wont go away (that I can remember) because some issues with deprecated Nepomuk. Correct me if wrong please.

Very well. It is may 2015, KDE Plasma 5 (Kubuntu 15.04, also full updated). Dolphin 4.14.7 and the problem is still there. Plasma 5 is made from scratch, right ? So there should be no apparent reason for the missing fields on Overwrite dialogue.

Thanks in advance, 

Regards.

Yes, you are correct. kdelibs 4.x (which is still used by the stable version of Dolphin - a KDE Frameworks 5-based Dolphin will be released in the future) does support showing details in the dialog, but only if the distro builds kdelibs with Nepomuk support. It's up to the distribution to decide if they want do that or not. See also bug 337600.
