Bug ID: 415838
Summary: DnD of File Into "Open File" Dialog File Name Text Box
Not Possible Any More
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.65.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Open/save dialogs
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@customcdrom.de
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
IIRC, some time ago it was possible to drag-and-drop a file from eg. Dolphin
into an "Open File" dialog's file name field. The full pathname of the file
would then be inserted there.
This was very handy in case an application only provides an "Open File" dialog,
but has not feature to directly accept a dragged and dropped file. (Which is
true for many, many applications.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and show some directory.
2. Open an "Open File" dialog in some other application.
3. Drag and Drop a file which is accepted by this other application into the
file name field of the "Open File" dialog.
OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor feedback indicates, that the file can be dropped in the file name
field. However, if I try to do so, the file name field stays empty.
EXPECTED RESULT
It does not only look like it, but I can actually drop the file into the file
name field and the file's full path name is inserted there. I then only have to
click "Open" in order to open this file in the application.
If I'm not totally mistaken, this used to work fine for ages, until some time
ago when it apparently broke.
