Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

current file dialogs lacks some functionalities like Open with, Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename, Actions, Compress. And the drag&drop functionality for move/copy.

Moving to the proper KDE product

I think file dialogs has to be a dolphin window.

This will add preview functionality too.

alot of wishes will be satisfied if you implement it this way

Cut, Copy, Paste, drag-and-drop to move/copy, actions, and compress make no sense to have in the file Open dialog. Those are all actions that demand a dedicated file management workflow. There's simply no way to adequately execute those features from within a file open dialog.

Rename makes some sense since you may want to save a file under the name current;s used by another file, and a quick way to rename that file is handy. That's tracked with Bug 189482.
