Description Manuel 2008-11-23 17:17:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

when D&D files from a folderview from the desktop-folder into a kde3 app (in my case amarok 1.4) the filename is given with the new desktop:/ protocol (also when opening folders with dolphin). maybe a nice idea in some cases but it would be better to take the "right" path in dolphin and it is a MUST in kde3 apps, cause they don't understand desktop:/ . discussed the problem in irc with annma

Comment 1 David Faure 2008-11-27 21:14:40 UTC

I see.
KDirModel::mimeData needs to export mostLocalUrls as text/uri-list and kde urls as application/x-kde4-urilist.
The decoding for application/x-kde4-urilist is already there in kurl::list (TODO add the '4'), but the encoding code is missing.

Comment 2 David Faure 2008-11-28 15:22:41 UTC

SVN commit 890184 by dfaure:

Export both the real urls (using a kde4-specific mimetype, to avoid incompatibilities with kde3 apps) and the most-local-urls (as text/uri-list), like we did in kde3.
