SUMMARY unable to copy/move files into a linked folder STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. make a symbolic link of a folder 2. try to move/copy a file/folder into the created linked folder OBSERVED RESULT a 'folder already exists' popup suggesting you to rename the file. EXPECTED RESULT the expected result would be for the file to be copied inside the linked folder SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION attempting to copy the file using the 'cp "file_name" "linked_folder"' or moving it with 'mv "file_name" "linked_folder"' works normally
Can confirm with Dolphin 20.07.70 on Neon unstable.
Adding the new information from 421312: "Cut and paste used to work but after the updates on 2020-05-10 it no longer works when pasting a folder or file to a symbolic link directory." "The bug happens with symbolic links on the same partition as well as different partitions or disks."

The bug is fixed on KDE Neon as of 2020-05-13.
Nah, it's still here. Git bisecting...
I mean the problem no longer happens on the User Edition of KDE Neon. Maybe the repository rolled back to a working/older version of Dolphin or a lib.

is it possible to get 5.71
Frameworks 5.71 is scheduled for release June 13th https://community.kde.org/Schedules/Frameworks In the meantime, you can downgrade to KF 5.70 if you can, or compile 5.71 from source, or use kde neon unstable. This is a bad regression, sorry for that dear users. I added an autotest so that it cannot happen again undetected.
I just made a 5.70.1 tag and package for KIO, hopefully the Neon packagers will update KIO in Neon quickly.
There's now a bugfix 5.70.1 release which distros can pick up, so you should get the fix soon.

Thanks a lot! Works now in NEON fine :)
Verified not occurring on KDE Neon (User Edition) as of 2020-05-22. Previously, on 2020-05-14 I thought it was fixed but at that time the bug stopped happening for subfolders in my symlinks, but I would still get the bug for pasting into the symlink folder.

Thanks a lot, too. The upgraded package has been picked up by PCLinuxOS and the problem here is fixed.
