Bug Description
Binary package hint: dolphin-kde4
If I use Dolphin's "Find File" tool, I correctly get a list of matching files within subfolders. I then right-click on one of them and use the Properties context menu, and the name shown *includes* the sub-folder, as expected.
However, if I then change just the name part of the filename, the file is changed but its new name now also *includes* the sub-folder.
Example:
1) Find File within "/home/user" folder, for "*.txt", and match an existing file called "/home/
2) Look at Properties dialog for the matched file - it shows "Documents/
3) Edit "Documents/one.txt" box to contain "Documents/two.txt" and press OK button.
4) Look in the "/home/
So, I would suggest that either:
a) the rename should ignore any subfolder part changes, or
b) the dialog should really show the subfolder and filename separately (and not allow editing of the subfolder part).
My personal preference is for b) as the more sensible and consistent solution.
I'm using Dolphin 1.3, under KDE 4.3.2 - and my OS is Kubuntu 9.10 amd64.
