Description Tianyu Zhu 2013-02-03 18:48:35 UTC 
Creating files in tag folders, such as tags:/important causes unexpected behaviours.
Sometimes the file that is created just doesn't appear.
Sometimes a file in /usr/share/templates/.source/ shows up instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to "tags:/important" in Dolphin
2. Right click and create a new text file. Call it "test".
Actual Results:  
/usr/share/templates/.source/TextFile.txt shows up in "tags:/important".

Expected Results:  


I can think of three options:

1. Disallow creation of files in a tag folder
2. Put them in a default location, like /home/user/misc (although care must be taken to ensure that duplicate file names are resolved)
3. Ask the user where to actually store the file with a dialog (though precautions must be taken to ensure the user doesn't try to save the file in another tag folder)

With Baloo-5.20, Dolphin allows me to create a text file in "tags://1/", but I can't find it anywhere afterwards.
