Just tried to debug it a little bit, looks like FolderModel::drop is not called at all.
From the observed visual behavior, plasmashell seems to takes the drop as a new plasmoid request so FolderModel doesn't get the drop event. Probably it is blocked by following code in desktop containment. if (isFolder && event.mimeData.hasUrls) On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 5:46 AM, Elvis Angelaccio <elvis.angelac...@kdemail.net> wrote: > > > 2015-12-01 14:13 GMT+01:00 Bhushan Shah <bhus...@gmail.com>: >> >> Hello, >> >> On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 6:39 PM, Marco Martin <notm...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> >> >> In Plasma 5 this does not work anymore, as kde-base repo has not been >> >> ported.
