Description Martin Ueding 2015-05-26 11:47:41 UTC

I use Awesome WM together with the KDE programs. My version of Dolphin is 14.12.3 under KDE 4.14.6, which I did not find in the above version list.

All the normal windows get tiled with Awesome WM. The copy dialog that appears when one does not use Plasma has the properties of a normal window:

_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL
_MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x3, 0x3e, 0x7e, 0x0, 0x0
WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW, WM_TAKE_FOCUS, _NET_WM_PING, _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Kopiervorgang"
WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "de_DE.UTF-8"
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "dolphin", "Dolphin"

This means that the copy dialog of Dolphin gets tiled as a normal window, which is quite irritating. I would greatly appreciate if the _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE could be changed to the dialog type such that Awesome WM would render it as a floating window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Awesome WM without Plasma
2. Copy some files in Dolphin

Actual Results:  
Copy dialog gets tiled.

Expected Results:  
Copy dialog gets floated.

Comment 1 Frank Reininghaus 2015-05-26 17:03:39 UTC

Thanks for the bug report! This is not a Dolphin issue - the KIO library (which is part of kdelibs 4.x and a separate framework in KF5) is responsible for copying files and for showing any dialogs that are related to copying/moving files. I'm not sure though if the problem is really there or somewhere else.

Comment 2 Martin Ueding 2015-06-06 08:59:14 UTC

Okay, thanks for moving the bug to the other product!

Comment 3 Martin Ueding 2015-07-19 12:34:34 UTC

A workaround would be adding the following to the `rc.lua` from Awesome WM:

    {
        rule = { class = "Dolphin", name = "Kopiervorgang" },
        properties = { floating = true }
    },

The `name` field needs to be adjusted. I think one needs another rule to add deletion dialogs and so on.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2018-05-08 18:37:38 UTC

Is this still relevant or applicable with KDE Frameworks 5.45?

Comment 5 Martin Ueding 2018-05-08 20:33:09 UTC

I have stopped using Awesome WM some time ago. Therefore I do not see the explicit copy dialogue any more, just the information in the tray. So I cannot tell you whether this is still applicable. It is not relevant for *me* at this point.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2018-05-09 20:42:55 UTC

Thanks. Let's keep it open in case someone else can confirm.

Comment 7 Justin Zobel 2022-11-21 08:22:12 UTC

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Comment 8 Martin Ueding 2022-11-28 11:10:31 UTC

I have not been using Awesome WM for a while now. When using Plasma Shell, the Dolphin copy dialog appears as part of the system notifcation in the Plasma panel. Therefore I cannot easily check whether this is still an issue.

From my point of view this ticket can be closed.
