In opensuse 13.1 x64, when on a samba network place, when right clicking, create new is greyed out and unable to be clicked, meaning that no new folders can be created with this method. The only way to create a new folder is to navigate up one directory and right click on that folder and for some reason create new will no longer be grayed out for that method. Reproducible: Always

Actually, I don't think that this can be a dupe of that one. They say there that the f10 key will create a new folder, however, the f10 key does not work for me, so it seems to be something different
This is a duplicate. Frank has already found the root cause of this problem. ;) The problem: The root item of some directories is null, so Dolphin marks this directory as "read-only". -> Create New, F10 (since 4.12.1), ... actions are automatically disabled. > They say there that the f10 key will create a new folder, however, > the f10 key does not work for me See bug 294054 for more information. The commit which changed the f10 key behavior (disable it in read only directories) was released with Dolphin 4.12.1. Commit Message: Disable the "Create folder" action in read-only directories The action can be triggered, e.g., by pressing F10. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 330015 ***
