Is this behavious normal?
by Richard Van Den Boom on Thursday 01/Jun/2006, @07:10

I've had a strange issue since I upgraded to 3.5.X versions of KDE : before, I could select a file in Konqueror, copy it then paste it in the same directory. Konqueror would prompt me at this point for a new name. Now, it just tells me that the file exists and that it can't copy a file on itself. I have to copy the file to another directory, change its name and move it back.
Is this a decision to change the behaviour or is this a bug that hopefully will have been fixed in 3.5.3?
Or maybe my setup is juste strangely broken.....

Best regards,

I've been having the same problem, but since I have a weak memory it made me doubt if that even worked before. I'm installing 3.5.3 right now, so I'll know if it's still there in a while, and will report it if it still is.

Seems fixed in 3.5.3. Cool!

why don't you just rename the file, in stead of trying to copy-paste the file over itself?

I guess he'd like to create a *copy* under a new name.
