            Bug ID: 389437
           Summary: Dolphin does not deal well with a file that is visible
                    on two places via a hardlink and that is moved onto
                    itself
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 17.12.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: bugh...@gluino.name
                CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Suppose you have A/F1.txt and B/F1.txt

Both files are backed by the same inode.

If you move A/F1.txt into directory B, Dolphin pops up a dialog saying:

"The action will overwrite the destination".

Click on "Overwrite".

The dialog disappears then reappears immediately, nothing is "moved".

This goes on forever until you "Cancel".

It is unclear what Dolphin SHOULD do in this case.

Maybe unlink A/F1.txt. Or tell the user that A/F1.txt and B/F1.txt are actually
the same file and it will skip moving the file.
