        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kompare-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: aspotashev at gmail.com

Here:

#: komparepart/kompare_part.cpp:556
msgid "The file exists or is write-protected; do you want to overwrite it?"

---------------

The question is: how a file can be write-protected and non-existing at the same
time?


The string says something like this:
1. if the file exists, then it's dangerous to overwrite it, and
2. if the file is write-protected, then it's dangerous to overwrite it.

Having the first statement, the second one is unnecessary (it's a partial case
of the condition if the first statement).

Reproducible: Didn't try
