Bug ID: 523202
Summary: Unable to duplicate read-only file
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 26.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Dolphin is unable to duplicate a read-only file and instead shows the user an
inaccurate error message.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a file
2. Remove write permission from the file, i.e. set it to 444 (or 400)
3. Duplicate the file (using the Ctrl+D shortcut)
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin shows an error message:
Cannot duplicate here: You do not have permission to create items in this
folder.
But this is incorrect, since the directory permission didn't change between
creation and duplication of the file. cp also continues to work, as does copy +
pasting the file. It seems for duplicate Dolphin checks the file's permission,
not its parent.
EXPECTED RESULT
A copy of the original file should be created.
