--- Comment #13 from Elle Stone <e...@ninedegreesbelow.com> ---
I'm trying to sort through a *lot* of image files - for which there are quite a
few duplicates and also quite a few files in the wrong folder. Whenever I move
an image file from one album to another, if there is already a file by that
name, two things happen:

1. A "popup" - very discrete and easy to overlook, sort of glides up from the
bottom of the screen to say that there is already a file by the same name in
the destination album. It's very easy to overlook this "glide up" and very
discrete notice. As noted already, there are no options provided to "overwrite"
or "move and rename" or "do nothing".

2. The thumbnail does immediately - but only temporarily! - disappear from the
album currently being viewed!!! This is not a good thing!!! It looks like the
image was actually moved, but it wasn't, and eventually the "moved" item shows
back up in the original album. 

Going to the file manager to move these files around really isn't an option as
the file names all are very similar. I guess I'll try opening another image
viewer, though that will make the screen very crowded.

This is on digiKam 5.7.0.

Automatically renaming with an added number doesn't sound like a good solution.
In my case it would just create more files that I'd need to sort through. The
simplest thing would be to simply not move the file at all, and also don't make
it *look* like the file was moved, which is currently what is happening.
Although I am running Gentoo, so perhaps this "temporarily disappears from
view" problem is specific to my Gentoo distribution.
