prompt window
SUMMARY
Cut and paste used to work but after the updates on 2020-05-10 it no longer
works when pasting a folder or file to a symbolic link directory.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin to navigate to folder /home/user/Desktop/test/
2. In that folder I want to move mytest.txt so I right click and choose Cut.
3. Navigate to my symlink folder /home/user/Desktop/notes/ and right click and
Paste.
OBSERVED RESULT
You will get a prompt window that looks like below (see attachment):
File Already Exists -- Dolphin
An older item named '/home/user/Desktop/notes/' already exists.
Rename:
notes [Suggest New Name]
EXPECTED RESULT
The file or folder should be pasted without any prompt.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Neon on Ubuntu 18.04.
Operating System: KDE neon 5.18
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
Kernel Version: 4.15.0-99-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
Memory: 31.4 GiB of RAM
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I didn't attempt to rename the file or folder since I do not know what will
happen and I do not want to risk corruption.
Using the mv command in Konsole still works fine.
When I test moving a file or folder all located within Desktop sub directories
on the same partition then I do not experience the problem.
