Bug ID: 424082
Summary: Open/save directory panel should take user to extant
directory, not show error when trying to create an
directory that already exists
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Using the open/save directory panel to create a directory that already exists
results in seeing an error "A file or folder named <path to your directory>
already exists.". This should instead select the desired directory and possibly
expand that directory to show other directories within.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a KDE app that uses the KDE standard directory open/save directory
navigator panel. Do something that causes that panel to open.
2. Click "New Folder..." and specify the name of a folder that already exists.
OBSERVED RESULT
You will get the "A file or folder named <path to your directory> already
exists." error.
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't matter if the directory exists because clearly the user is trying
to work in that directory. Therefore the path to the specified directory should
be expanded, the directory specified should be selected, and the user should be
left to do further work in that directory.
