Hi,

Using Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop i686, KDE: 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 3", desktop as "folder view"

when I rename a folder that I have placed on the desktop (right-cklick on icon, rename) the folder gets copied into a new folder with the new name and in the end the old folder is deleted.

Why?

This is really strange, isn't it? To rename large folders (a camera card with some GB's for example) takes quite a while because of the useless copy, instead of just the time of a click.

Is this a feature or a bug?

Danny, Danny, Danny..... It's KDE4 -- nobody is quite sure how it works? It's like in qwenview when you drag a file from the list to a folder while holding down either the ctrl or shift key expecting the file to be either copied or moved, respectively. Instead you are presented with a menu asking whether you wish to copy or move -- that lists the ctrl and shift shortcuts for copy and move..... Go figure?? The copy on rename issue is a bug unless you renamed the file to something ON A DIFFERENT PARTITION than the original file. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
