Version: 1.3 (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Let's say that you have a folder view widget containing a file that you would like to move to another folder. You open dolphin and the destination folder is listed in the Places panel (left side of dolphin window). So you drag the file from the folder view widget onto the folder in the Places panel and instead of moving the file the currently selected folder in the Places panel becomes attached to the mouse cursor. I've attached a screenshot of this behaviour.

Confirmed in trunk.
Somewhat confirmed in 4.5 ... I get a slightly different result. When dropping a file from the folder view on one of the places in dolphin i get the place i dropped it on as if i wanted to move that.
Seems to be fixed in 4.6 beta2 as installed from Ubuntu packages. I can drag files onto the Places items, and I get a popup asking if I want to move/copy. It seems to work as expected. OP: can you confirm that this issue is resolved? Thanks.
I can still reproduce this issue with KDE 4.6.3
I can't reproduce this problem in 4.7.1, using Fedora 15. I'm able to drag folders from a Folder View widget onto the Places area in Dolphin.
Created attachment 66435 [details] Patch to drop files on places panel Now we can drop files on places panel folder, the files are moved from original location to the folder in places panel on which the files are dropped
Comment on attachment 66435 [details] Patch to drop files on places panel sorry, in the patch in slotplacespanelDrop funtion url.contains(dest.pathorurl()) is wrong,i will correct it later, we should check from and to directories
@A. Janardhan Reddy: Thanks a lot for your patch, but please contact me before spending so much time + energy into such a (quite non-trivial) patch. The issue is solved in KDE 4.7 and the reason why it currently does not work on master is the switch to the new view-engine (see http://ppenz.blogspot.com/2011/08/introducing-dolphin-20.html for details). Ideally only one line in PlacesPanel::slotUrlsDropped() needs to get uncommented to reactivate the functionality again. I should have some time today to fix this (and most probably it will require more adjustments after uncommenting this line, but no change in DolphinMainWindow or DolphinView is required for this).

I had a short look and it really was only this one line :-( If you have suggestions for improvements please let me know. I think if some adjustments should be done they should go into DragAndDropHelper::dropUrls(). Thanks!
