Version: (using KDE 4.1.96) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages "Cut" and "Copy" options for desktop files/folders don't exist when you enable "desktop view".
What do you mean with "Desktop View". Are you talking about switching the Plasma type from FolderView(icons in desktop) to "Desktop"(only plasmoids in desktop) ??
The classic KDE 3 desktop view. You can see in this screenshot: http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=30581 Don't see the red circle (it is for other bug report).
... and the Ark menu is also missing.
Here using: Qt: 4.4.3 + qt-copy-patches-910240 KDE: 4.2.60 (KDE 4.2.60 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090116)) kdelibs svn rev. 916868 / kdebase svn rev. 916868 on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.28.1 There is no "Cut" or "Copy" options in a Folderview (containment or plasmoid), even if there are some files selected. I suppose this could be a limitation of the desktop:/ kioslave, but after changing to Home, I'm getting the same behaviour. However, I get Ark menus (extract and compress options)
Same here. No cut etc, but i have a "download with kget", why would i want to download from my desktop with kget?
confirmed on mandriva cooker, btw this same bug applies to the filesize view in konqueror
Created attachment 30863 [details] Proposed patch
(In reply to comment #7) > Created an attachment (id=30863) [details] > Proposed patch > thank you for the patch, could you please look at the following bug, where I believe this patch could be applied too?: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180579
I have another request: Run command Add widget Lock widgets Add Panel Are missing from the context menu too and they can be also quite handy, so could these also be added?
The cut and copy entries are only shown in the menu when "Show 'Copy To' and 'Move To' commands" is checked in the "Context Menu" tab in the "General" section of the Dolphin settings. This is not the intended behavior though. @Dario: Thanks for the patch, but those entries are automatically added to the menu by libkonq depending on the file permissions etc. @aapgorilla: Could you file a separate wishlist for that request since it's not related to this bug? Thanks.

I think the setting "Show 'Copy To' and 'Move To' commands" should be made available in konqueror too (via the dolphin-provided config modules), and then KonqPopupMenu could honor that setting too.
hei, just wanted to add me to that list of people wanting copy paste in folderview, because my gf is bugging me about it. keep up the good work
