Confirmed in KDE 4.8 branch

Comment 2 Janet 2012-01-29 02:44:14 UTC

By dragging a folder onto the panel or desktop a URL was created before. Now in KDE 4.8 an application link is created (which misses the application).

Bug 292455 seems to be the same and fixed?

Comment 4 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2012-01-29 14:03:50 UTC

Indeed it is fixed! Marking as duplicate
