Description davidblunkett 2010-09-29 11:20:29 UTC

Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

Under KDE 3.5 you could drag and drop files (and cut and paste) from the desktop, kmail and konqueror in to shells in konsole - you'd then get the option to move or copy files into the shell (this actually just pasted a command like "cp /xx/x//x//x.mfulie . <cr>" into the shell).

This was incredibly useful but in the current version this feature is missing.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
drag and drop a file into konsole - does nothing

Actual Results:  
drag and drop a file into konsole - does nothing

Expected Results:  
It should paste a command to execute the cp or mv into the current shell directory.

I wish this got some attention - it was bloody brilliant as a feature when it used to work!

Comment 2 Kurt Hindenburg 2011-03-04 17:57:57 UTC

Currently, the link of the dropped item is pasted into Konsole.

Comment 4 davidblunkett 2011-03-06 19:57:57 UTC

This is not a duplicate of 197867 which relates to changing directories not copying files - and the comment "current the link is pasted into..." is not the case for me.

Dragged files under kde 3.5 paste "kcmcopy <target> ." (can't remember exactly) but under KDE 4.4.4 I just get the mouse as a "no entry symbol" and nothing happens.

Comment 5 Roman Zimmermann 2011-03-22 17:24:03 UTC

I also see the link pasted when I drag&drop a file from konqueror into the konsole. I find the current behavior rather useful. If I remember correctly this worked just fine for me since KDE 4.0.

Can you still reproduce this? Can you provide more information (distribution, install method, …)

Comment 6 davidblunkett 2011-03-24 23:48:07 UTC

I can confirm that dragging a link from somewhere into konsole pastes the link location and dragging an image in Dolphin into konsole pastes the file location (previously it used to paste something like "kcmcopy file_location . ".

kmail does not provide this functionality for dragging attachments into konsole.

I'm using kde 4.4.4 from suse 11.3

I will close this report since d&d event does paste location into konsole now.

If you still want the move/copy options, that would be #160583

Comment 8 davidblunkett 2011-08-03 21:58:13 UTC

Ok I'll mark it as a duplicate of  #160583 - a modifier key or other configurable setup would be ideal.
