(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: 2.2.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: Debian Packages Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: debian/unstable Konqueror supports the XDND protocol but not the related XDS one. Thus I can drag a directory onto Archive for example but dragging the resulting .tgz file back into konqueror gives a very odd result: it asks for a name for the archive and then a 1 byte file is created! konqueror should either support the protocol or fail gracefully (eg with an error message). Protocol: http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/xds/ Archive application: http://rox.sourceforge.net/archive.php3 Note that Edit does not show this problem. Presumably konq accepts its offer of text/plain in preference to XdndDirectSave0. It still asks for the name however. Thanks (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
As of today, GIMP supports this protocol (in the HEAD branch). It would be nice if konqueror would implement the other side of the protocol so that GIMP users could save images by dragging them to the KDE desktop or to konqueror folders.
