Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2015-10-10 23:17:51 UTC
When dropping a folder or other file onto the Desktop, I can briefly see the "Determining mime type" dialog, with sometimes an applet appearing briefly but nothing happens, eg. dropping an application from Kickoff does not create an icon widget.

Console output shows nothing unusual:
Arrived mimeData (QUrl("file:///home/kaiuwe/Bilder") )  ("text/uri-list") at 342 ,  793
can decode "inode/directory" (QVariant(QString, "file:///home/kaiuwe/Bilder") ) 
Mimetype Job returns. "inode/directory"
Received a suitable dropEvent at QPoint(342,793)
Creating menu for: "inode/directory" QPoint(342,793)
"Ordner-Ansicht"
"org.kde.plasma.folder"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drop folder from your home directory onto the Desktop Containment (not Folderview Containment)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I can briefly see the "Determining mimetype" note, but nothing happens otherwise

Expected Results:  
I get a selection asking me whether I want a Folderview or icon widget to be created

Dropping a text snipped (eg. the selection in an editor) yields a sticky note, though. It seems the file case is broken.
