Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux The file dolphin.desktop contains the line Exec=dolphin %i -caption "%c" With this command it is not possible to open directories or the trash from the desktop. It is likely that other actions my fail as well. If I change the line to Exec=dolphin -icon "%i" -caption "%c" "%u" everything works as expected.
Thanks Herbert for the report + fix. Just to be 100 % sure: when opening directories (or the trash) from the desktop: do you use the KDE 3 desktop for starting Dolphin? I cannot reproduce the issue with the trunk version of KDE and using Plasma, but the desktop file still has not been adjusted... Thanks!
I used a KDE4 Desktop on openSUSE 10.3 from the BuildService with a parallel KDE3 installation. I think everybody using a fresh KDE4 installation should have a problem with this dolphin.desktop file. People who have a KDE4 installation for a long time (e.g. developers) are likely to already have overidden this file inside .local/share/applications/kde4 and may not notice the error in the global file in (/usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop in my case). If you login as a new user that has never started KDE, you should observe the same problem with klicking on desktop icons. You cannot open the trash can or ordinary folders with dolphin (Open with konqueror works fine).
OK, thanks! I've committed the fix for 4.0.1 and trunk.
