Bug ID: 517058
Summary: Move to New Folder... doesn't work if filename
contains square brackets
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 25.08.3
Reported In:
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the "Move to New Folder..." action in context menu, if the file/s
name contains square brackets the file name (like "[test] file.jpg") is treated
as part of the new path for the "New Folder", so the "New Folder" becomes a
subfolder of the folder with name of the file ".../[test] file.jpg/New Folder"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select file/s which name contains square brackets
2. Right click and choose "Move to New Folder..."
3. You can already see the file name in the new path "Create new folder in
~/[test] file.jpg/:"
4. Click "Ok"
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin tries to move the file ("[test] file.jpg") to "~/[test] file.jpg/New
Folder/"
This folder can't be created because it would have same name as the file which
would overwrite the file so it throws error "Could not make folder..." every
time.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin shouldn't interpret file with square brackets as part of the new path.
The file ("[test] file.jpg") should be moved to just "~/New Folder/"
