Description Bartek Iwaniec 2009-01-07 17:44:51 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In KDE 4.1.4 the paste file option in context menu is always grayed out. The issue exists in any KDE file manager (dolphin/konqueror) and in plasmoids e.g. folderview so i suspect its general kde bug not connected with specific file manager. The only way to copy&paste file is to drag and drop it.

Distro: Archlinux
KDE packages are from KDEMod project - http://chakra-project.org/
Qt - 4.4.3

Confirmed on Arch Linux, KDEmod 4.1.3, i686

@Nicky726: I guess that's 4.1.4 when you are on latest packages =)

Ups, sorry 4.1.4 sure. I just got kinda confused.

What happens if you right click->copy and then directly try to right click->paste in the same directory? I have noticed similar problems in the past (especially before 4.1.0) but in my case it only happened if another action (like changing directory) was between copy and paste.

The same thing happens -> paste is always unavailable.

Yep, confirmed. Works in 4.2/trunk, but not in 4.1.4.
Debugging it now.
