Description David 2021-10-13 15:31:46 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a symlink somewhere user-writable to some file from a different folder, having the same name as the original file.
2. Open the folder where the symlinked file lives in Dolphin, and the folder where the original file lives.
3. Try to copy the real file into the folder that has the symlinked one (replacing the symlinked one with the real one).

OBSERVED RESULT
Does not let me copy the real file if a symlink already exists.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should let me overwrite the symlink with the real file.
