Dolphin ignores the default ACL of a destination folder when copying/moving files and preserves ACL of a source file. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make sure that the ACL is enabled for the test mount point(/home for example) and you have two test users in the system (user1 and user2 for example). 2. Create two test directories test1 and test2: mkdir /home/username/test1 mkdir /home/username/test2 3. Set ACL for directories: setfacl -m d:u:user1:rwx /home/username/test* setfacl -m u:user1:rwx /home/username/test* setfacl -m d:u:user2:rwx /home/username/test2 setfacl -m u:user2:rwx /home/username/test2 4. Create empty file in test2 directory and verify the ACL it received: touch /home/username/test2/testfile getfacl /home/username/test2/testfile # file: home/username/test2/testfile # owner: user1 # group: user1 user::rw- user:user1:rwx #effective:rw- user:user2:rwx #effective:rw- group::r-x #effective:r-- mask::rw- other::r-- 5. Use Dolphin to copy or move this testfile to the test1 directory and verify the ACL it received: getfacl /home/username/test1/testfile # file: home/username/test1/testfile # owner: user1 # group: user1 user::rw- user:user1:rwx #effective:rw- user:user2:rwx #effective:rw- group::r-x #effective:r-- mask::rw- other::r-- OBSERVED RESULT File testfile preserves its ACL. EXPECTED RESULT File testfile get default ACL from test1 directory. All other tools respects default ACL when copying/moving files with them (mc, cp, mv, thunar, nemo etc.). Operating System: Alt Linux P9 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.12.9 Kernel Version: 5.7.19-un-def-alt1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I can test problem in another distribution with more fresh software. Let me know if you need it.
I can't reproduce it in Alt Linux P10. Looks like it fixed!
