Description FiNeX 2007-11-10 18:44:52 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

In KDE3 I was used to drag a link or a file from konqueror to a textbox in konqueror and this were filled with the URI of the file/link i've dropped.
Example in KDE3.5:
1) Open two konqueror window one with the fileview and one with a webpage with a form with a textbox.
2) You can drag&drop a file to the textbox and see the path filled in
It is very useful, but now it's missing.

Actually konqueror open the file (if possible) instead of fill the textarea/textline.
Comment 2 FiNeX 2008-05-12 11:56:31 UTC 
Is someone working on this useful feature?

I would love to see this returned, it was a great feature to just drag n drop a file into a file upload box and have it work.
Comment 6 John 2009-03-05 22:21:16 UTC 
I too would like to see this feature return in KDE4 (running KDE 4.2.1 from Mandriva right now). I love(d) that feature, finding it really handy to not have to browse for the file AGAIN from within konqueror.

Comment 9 FiNeX 2009-08-21 22:37:03 UTC 
Bug #204684 adds an interesting hint: it should be possible to drop text into line edit and text area (and viceversa), not only dropping files.

Are there any developments regarding this bug? It is pretty annoying not to be able to drag text into text boxes.
