(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kfile Version: KDE 3.0.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Not Specified OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified if I'm opening a file and I type a wrong path kfile should tell me that it cannot find/access the file - it should not close the dialog and leave it up to the app. it is a real pain to have to open the dialog again and retype the path only to make a mistake again. if I'm saving a file and I type a file that already exists kfile should ask if I want to replace it - it should *not* be left to the app e.g. konqueror when you save a html it doesn't even prompt for a replace. centralising this functionality in kfile would be more consistent and easier to program (IMHO).

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
The overwrite issue is already tracked with Bug 146806. Let's use this to track the invalid path issue.
*** Bug 332575 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Typing an invalid path either in the url bar or the name bar and hitting Enter doesn't nothing, i.e. the dialog isn't closed, view isn't changed, and nothing is opened. I would say sort of "fixed". Feel free to reopen.
