            Bug ID: 443673
           Summary: Cannot copy file if symlink exists in same folder
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.08.1
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a symlink somewhere user-writable to some file from a different
folder, having the same name as the original file.
2. Open the folder where the symlinked file lives in Dolphin, and the folder
where the original file lives.
3. Try to copy the real file into the folder that has the symlinked one
(replacing the symlinked one with the real one).

OBSERVED RESULT
Does not let me copy the real file if a symlink already exists.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should let me overwrite the symlink with the real file.
