Description Mathew de Detrich 2008-10-07 04:33:02 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.2.3 Packaged as ArchLinux pkg.tar.gz
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

At certain times when copying and pasting files in konqueror the Edit Copy/Paste and right click Copy/Paste is greyed out, although its possible to copy the files/folders.

It seems to happen when konqueror has a tab open which is connected to a site or when connected through another KIO (such as samba through remote:/). It happens at other times as well (seems to be random in behavior)

Copying files through dolphin is a workaround for this problem.

Distribution: ArchLinux

I can confirm: Cut and Copy on the right-click menu are sometimes grayed out (disabled) in Konqueror. I am currently using kdelibs-4.1.2-2.fc10.i386 from Fedora Rawhide.

Dragging the files using the mouse does, however, work. As said in the previous comment, using Dolphin works.

How to reproduce:
From a console, start:
$ konqueror --profile filemanagement

Navigate by *only* using the mouse, right-click and see that cut/copy is active and works.

Now, navigate using the Location bar. Eg. Type "~/Documents/" and press enter. Right-click on a file in that folder: Now cut/copy is grayed out.

So, I think this is connected with using the Location bar somehow, or with keyboard input. In the above, I did not use tabs.

PS. konqueror spit out the following when I did that described above:
"/usr/bin/konqueror(5336)" Error in thread 3086075760 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The nameepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/konqueror(5336)" Error in thread 3086075760 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"

Comment 2 Frank Reininghaus 2008-10-09 23:52:53 UTC

Confirmed in 4.1.2 on Kubuntu (going to "~/Documents/" using the location bar) but it seems to work fine in trunk rev. 868661 (which is going to become KDE 4.2). Looks like a duplicate of bug 172200.

Comment 3 Frank Reininghaus 2008-10-09 23:55:53 UTC

I've found the first report. This will be fixed in KDE 4.1.3 as well.
