Description Patrick Silva 2019-05-13 20:08:57 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set your desktop do folder view layout
2. copy two files of the same type to desktop
3. try to rename one of the two files using the same name as the other file that you copied to desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
plasma shows the error message "Could not rename file..."

EXPECTED RESULT
plasma shows the same "File already exists" dialog that appears when you follow the steps 2 and 3 using Dolphin

Comment 1 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-05-23 15:18:17 UTC 
Dolphin uses KIO::moveAs which prompts to rename if already exists, whereas Folder View goes through KDirModel which uses KIO::rename which complains when it already exists and doesn't work when direct rename isn't possible.
I guess KDirModel should be changed?
