The feature consists of a necklace or multiple items in multiple folders, negating the need to paste one by one. The attached image reflects well the steps of the idea. http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1825/multipasteidea.jpg Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select file(s) 2. Copy file(s) 3. Select folders 4. Paste items in selected folders

review request: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/105719/
Thanks for the report and the patch! Could you describe a common situation in which it is necessary to paste items in multple sub-folders of the current folder simultaneously? I can't think of any, which is why I'm not quite sure if this feature should go in.
Well, I'll give an example: I am a designer of icons, and my theme there are several subfolders with different resolutions of icons (16,24,32,48, etc.), many of the files in these folders are relative symlinks (. /) for images in that directory. In all the directories, symlinks are of the same name. Now imagine having to do this manually (copy and paste a symlink on other folders) every time I create an icon (which can reach over 1000 images and over 2000 symlinks in a complete theme). I think this option could be inactive by default and can be activated via Dolphin settings. I think there are other common uses for this feature, but unfortunately does not come to mind. Thank you
Thanks for the explanation! Anyway, I'd like to wait and see if there is demand from other users. Making this an option in the settings is not a good idea IMHO - I try to keep the number of config options as small as possible.
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
