Version: unknown (using KDE 3.2.0, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r4, propolice) OS: Linux (ppc) release 2.4.22-ben2-r4 At my remote host I have access to /home/mynick and /tmp/mydir. I have also a symlinks to /tmp/mydir: /home/mynick/temp -> /tmp/mydir fish:// have no problem entering or copying files from /home/mynick/temp, but refuse to copy a whole dir from local host to /home/mynick/temp, replying "fish:.../home/mynick/temp is a file but a directory was expected." Simple steps to reproduce: 1) on remotehost create a symlink from a dir to another dir 2) conntect to remotehost and enter that dir 3) copy a directory from localhost to remotehost (you will get the error I reported)
If you copy a single file from localhost to remotehost you'll be asked if you want to replace the symlink the file you're tranfering.
If you click 'Reload' while you're in the directory konqueror will ask you if you want to save a file of type application/octects-stream.
same issue here, running 3.2.2
Another strange bahavoir is that when using the "Directory first" option, the linked directory will not appear first along the other dirs but along the common files
i think the priority of this bug could be increase... it can be warmful for a user going to fast to overwrite his symlink by the directory. additionaly, there is another annoying bug,... openoffice and koffice document are considered GZIP files, ... which is really annoying when double clicking on them. I think its the same bug,... bad recognition of file types.
hmm, seems to does the job correctly, but user feedback is not correct. here is what I do server: mkdir temp1 touch temp1/file1 ln -s temp2 home computer: mkdir temp2 touch temp2/file2 fire up konqueror, log in through fish:// drag local temp2 directory over symlinks in fish. konqueror ask if I want to OVERWRITE ? .... well, I said overwrite and it basically move the file2 and delete the local directory. which is good. but I did not think it would do it.
