            Bug ID: 435909
           Summary: Dragging files onto themselves should be ignored, and
                    not asked for overwrite/rename
           Product: digikam
           Version: 7.2.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums-IconView
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: jens-bugs.kde....@spamfreemail.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
see $SUBJECT

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open any folder
2. select some images
3. start dragging (not ctrl-drag)
4. release onto same folder

OBSERVED RESULT
dialog pops up asking if we want to rename or ovewrite

EXPECTED RESULT
no dialog. I wanted to move the images, this should be ignored if the target is
the same folder/album because the exact same files are already there.

If ctrl-drag is used and released on the same folder/album, it is debatable
whether the user should be asked if s?he wants to create duplicates. I think
no, in 99% of all cases. There are other options for rare cases where it makes
sense to duplicate files (Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V, versioning, etc). Maybe we can add a
checkbox "[x] Don't ask again when target and source are identical" to the
dialog, and a settings option? 

Using Digikam appimage with KDE Neon and all available updates applied.
