Bug ID: 479366
Summary: trash-dragging / renaming a '~'-location-reference –
and the consequences
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: bars: location
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: gona...@ulm-dsl.de
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
When dragging and dropping an existing location, esp. the home-folder (or
other) entry to the trash-location, dolphin moves and / or deletes files, even
the userspace, when its the home-folder. You could not expect from a new user
to know, what power he has in its hands. locations should be like bookmarks,
meaning if you drag a location to the trash, one would expect the
location-'bookmark' is deleted, not the real files.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. produce a location '~'
2. drag this location to the trash-location
2.1. and / or rename it to 'XYZ' beforehand –– what could end up in a rename
not only of the location-'bookmark' but the whole userspace-folder
3. have fun with a borked system
OBSERVED RESULT
severe problems with the system
EXPECTED RESULT
deletion / rename of the 'place'-placeholder / -reference only, not the
referenced files
