Installed from:    Compiled sources

Copy&Paste Rename Compress Encrypt in “Open File” and “Save As” dialog box

The “Open File” and “Save As” dialog boxes that are accessed from KDE applications should have all the capabilities that Konqueror File Manager (KFM) has. Such capabilities should include:
Copy, Cut, Paste
Rename
Compress
Encrypt

Currently, a person cannot do any of these things from an “Open File” and “Save As” dialog box. Windows has exhibited this integration since Win95 (namely, everything that a person can do in “File Explorer” they can do from the “Open File” and “Save As” dialog boxes of a Windows application), which is a real usability plus it has over KDE.

This is not necessarily a good thing. Being allowed to do all that in a Open/Save dialog can lead to security problems. I have many times opened an Explorer using that when the icons were removed.

We have Kiosk lockdown in KDE, however.

Comment 2 Vlad C. 2005-06-27 04:51:06 UTC

I don't see how expanding the capabilities of the Open/Save dialog to match those of KFM is a security threat. After all, the user can always start up Konqueror and do the same things. If the admin doesn't trust the user, the admin should use Kiosk lockdown (as Thiago suggested) and set the proper file permissions.

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
