Description Anthony Vital 2014-01-26 20:01:29 UTC

I can transfert files on a samba share but the "Create new" menu is disabled in Dolphin. It works fine with Konqueror.
The problem is probably related to that commit: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-baseapps.git&a=commit&h=67bb99c5ded73f9f25882a1e0c3035aa3b3a3f24

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an smb:// location in dolphin.
2. Check that you can actually write on it by transfering some files on it for example.
3. Right click
Actual Results:  
The "Create new" menu is greyed out.

Expected Results:  
The "Create new" menu lets me create a new directory.

The samba share is installed in an "internet box" provided by the french ISP Free.

Thanks for the bug report.

No the problem is (see bug 330001):
