            Bug ID: 472180
           Summary: probability of loss of information due to wrong/poor
                    symlink behaviour
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 23.04.3
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: elektorronikci at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I am not sure if this is a bug or a change in the design philosofy. If the
latter is the case, seriously you must reconsider this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Cut some symlink file and paste elsewhere.

OBSERVED RESULT
Symlink files are dereferenced and originals are moved.

EXPECTED RESULT
Symlink files must not be dereferenced. Originals must not be moved. Just the
symlink must be moved. That is the command the user intents to. Whether it
references right or not, this is the problem of the user.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Frameworks 5.108.0
QT 5.15.10
