Description Jim Jones 2010-02-14 01:00:00 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux

steps re reproduce:

1.) open new dolphin session in column mode - normally it opens $HOME
2.) click on a folder in dolphin
3.) right click on a file/folder on the newly opened column

some items are grayed out - like Copy,Cut,Rename,Move to Trash, Delete
altough i have enough rights to do this

if 2.) is done 2 times the menu shown in 3.) is as it should be

@Peter: This seems to be bug 224475 which you've closed as fixed. Maybe the
issue has reappeared?

Comment 4 Peter Penz 2010-02-14 19:22:04 UTC

@Frank: It seems the fix for 224475 only has fixed some parts, I could reproduce the issue on trunk :-(

Comment 5 Frank Reininghaus 2010-02-18 01:23:53 UTC

The cause of the disabled actions is that DolphinView does not receive the selectionChanged(...) signal of the selection model if the selection is changed in the second column.

To fix that, one could either

1. adjust the connection to the selection model's signal (which is done in DolphinView::createView() now) every time another column is activated, or

2. always use the same selection model, i.e., call DolphinColumnView::setSelectionModel(...) every time a new column is activated.

Thanks Frank for the hint, I hope I've time until end of February to fix this (it has a high priority on my list, as it is a dirty regression to KDE 4.3.x).

Assure that the changed selection model is reconnected when changing columns. This fixes the regression that some operations have been disabled on sub columns. Thanks to Frank Reininghaus for the analyses.

i use kde 4.5.3 with mandriva 2010.1 and i still have this bug in konqueror https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226200 
When i switch to columns view, everything works fine, but if i delete a file in a folder then the menus cut,copy,paste,delete are disabled (grised)

in dolphin it works fine, i have the problem only in konqueror

Comment 10 Frank Reininghaus 2010-11-12 11:15:43 UTC

Dimitrios, I could not reproduce this so far. Could you open a new report for your problem and describe in detail which steps are required to see the bug (switch to columns view, delete a file, ...)? If you think that a screenshot of the disabled menus would help (so we can see better for which item the actions are disabled), feel free to attach one.

Thanks for your help.
