Description Ambroz Bizjak 2008-09-07 13:14:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

Right clicking in in the location bar in Dolphin while in the regular "Location Navigation" mode and selecting Copy will copy the whole URL. For local files that would be file:///something. It would be better to return just the absolute path if the file is local (/something). That makes the path usable outside of KDE apps (e.g. pasting in a console).
