Bug ID: 501303
Summary: Strip out newlines and other control/special
characters when pasting a filename from clipboard
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.12.2
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: folders
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: the.9a3e...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you paste the text contents of the clipboard into dolphin when renaming a
file, and the text contents contain newlines (and possibly other uncommon
characters), Dolphin currently leaves those characters in. This is not a bug,
but it is also most likely not the intended behaviour of the user, and tends to
cause problems for the user further down the line. I would like to propose to
have Dolphin remove those characters automatically after pasting.
Discussion here:
https://discuss.kde.org/t/remove-newlines-when-pasting-a-filename-from-clipboard-in-dolphin-while-renaming-a-file/31017?u=9man
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a string of text that contains newlines
2. In dolphin, select a file, right click and rename
3. Paste the string of text
OBSERVED RESULT
The new filename contains newlines.
EXPECTED RESULT
The new filename should contain the string without newlines or other control
characters
