Description Aaron Staley 2014-07-16 08:03:24 UTC

Posix does not permit the movement of a read-only folder (no write permission), regardless of the permissions on its parent.

Currently, when moving a read-only folder to another directory, Dolphin shows a dialog giving options to move or copy.  Clicking move results in a "access denied".

Expected behavior is similar to how attempting to move files within read-only directories behaves; dialog should suggest only "copy" or "link"

Do not show "move" option while dragging and dropping a read only directory

posix does not permit the movement of a read-only folder, regardless of the permissions
on its parent. This patch removes the move option from the drag and drop context menu if
the user doesn't have write permission on the directory.
