This is both good and bad. Good that I finally have validation for problems I had encountered with dolphin which some in the community had called me troll/FUD for stating and bad that another is experiencing the problem. Here is what I have found with my system and my workarounds:
- Dolphin does not always show the files which were moved, copied or changed in real time.
Thusly, if you copy files or folders as groups, not all will appear at the destination right away. Close Dolphin and reopen and sometimes they will now show. other times it takes a reboot before they show. Other times you have to re-copy the files
When you change a file a back-up is normally created but does not show up immediately all the time. If you immediately try to open another file for editing (and the back-up hasn’t shown) you will at times suddenly get a box asking how the backup should be opened instead of the file you requested. You simply cancel the open and re-select the file you want.
When you move files Dolphin will on occasion delete the file from the source location and fail to add it in the destination resulting in a lost file(s). Resolve, use CLI or midnight commander or another file manager at all times for moves!!
IMHO someone has dropped the ball here. Dolphin did not exhibit this behavior before when using 11.1 32bit/KDE 4.3.1 but does when using 11.1 64bit/KDE 4.3.1, 11.2 32/64bit/KDE >=4.3.1.
