Further investgation has revealed that the problem is different from what it first seemed to be. I normally start Konqueror with a saved view profile ("kfmclient openProfile <profile>") that contains two tabs, each showing a different directory in Tree View. When I right-click on any directory in those tabs, I get all the usual options except for "Create Folder". However, that option is present in any new tabs that I open. In other words, the option to create a new directory is not, as I had initially declared, missing from Konqueror. Tabs restored from a saved View Profile do not have this option, but newly created tabs do. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 69558 *** Sorry, but I don't think this is an exact duplicate of Bug 69558. I am talking about the right-click menu for a directory, not for the tab background. As an experiment, I changed the view in the (View Profile) restored tabs to an Icon View. the right-click menu for the tab background contains the "Create New" option (as it should), but the right-click menu for a directory still does not show "Create Folder". To reproduce: 1. Start a new Konqueror session with the Navigation Panel set to the Home Directory 2. Open a couple of tabs at different directories. I use Tree View but it should also work for an Icon View. 3. Use the "Settings" -> "Configure View Profiles" menu option to save the settings of that window. I also save URLs and window size. 4. Once saved, close Konqueror. 5. Open Konqueror again, but this time invoking the saved View Profile: "kfmclient openProfile <profile>" 6. Without doing anything else, right-click on a directory in one of the restored tabs. The "Create Folder" option will not be there. 7. Open a new tab and right-click a directory in that view. "Create Folder" will be there. I have 3.2beta2 here, and I never see a "Create Folder" item when right-clicking a directory, even in the new tab that the reporter suggested. I do get the "Create new..." submenu when right-clicking on the background (in all views/tabs). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 67639 *** I can't 100% confirm whether this is really a duplicate of Bug 67639, since I'm not sure if I fully understand what the reporter of that bug is trying to say. What I can say, however, is that the bug I have reported here appears to be fixed in KDE 3.2 (on Gentoo). |
