Description Adrián Chaves (Gallaecio) 2012-03-07 21:10:04 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/534.34 (KHTML, like Gecko) rekonq Safari/534.34
Build Identifier: 

If I right-click on Dolphin, and go to New > Text File… (or similar, second row anyway), if I enter a file extension for the name of the file on the next, a file will be created as “FilenameIChosedWithMy.extension.desktop”. That is, if I enter “file.txt”, a “file.txt.desktop” file will be created instead.

Same things happens using other extensions on the dialog to choose the name of the new file, I tried with .jpg also. Yet, entering an extensionless name works like a charm. That is: If I enter "file", I get a "file.txt" file (automatic corrent extension).

IIRC, in the past Dolphin would just detect I already passed it the .txt extension on the name, so when passing "file.txt" as name it would create a "file.txt" file, same as when passing just "file" as name,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on Dolphin (on the folder view).
2. Go to New > Text File… (text might be slightly different on actual English version)
3. Enter "file.txt" as name for the new file.
Actual Results:  
A file named “file.txt.desktop” is created.

Expected Results:  
A file named "file.txt" should be created instead.

I can confirm this bug on KDE 4.8.1 under Kubuntu 11.10.  It doesn't just affect .txt files, but also affects my other templates (e.g. LibreOffice) as well.

I can confirm this with KDE SC 4.8.1, Arch Linux

Comment 4 David Faure 2012-03-09 21:11:45 UTC

I see. This is the fix for bug 224142 affecting other kinds of files too.

I'm writing a unittest, then I'll fix the bug. Hold on ;)

Git commit 1775292fbd429a9e07dc9d612f2ea0b0afcc2541 by David Faure.
Committed on 09/03/2012 at 23:53.
Pushed by dfaure into branch 'KDE/4.8'.

New File menu: fix regression due to overzealous name-fixup code.

The fix for bug 224142 ended up affecting other file types than desktop
files, and appending ".desktop" to these.
Fixed by making the extension-appending code more generic, which fixes
the similar issue with normal files too: e.g. naming a text file
"foo.jpg" will end up creating a file named "foo.jpg.txt"

With unittest so that this won't happen again :)
