Description stefanprobst 2016-07-31 08:35:26 UTC

When creating a new file/folder with folderview as a panel-widget, the new file/folder is created in the path that is set in the settings of the widget, not in the directory that I have navigated to.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place folderview widget in panel with path /foo/
2. Open folderview widget and navigate to /foo/bar/
3. Click create new -> textfile -> dmy.txt

Actual Results:  
File is created as /foo/dmy.txt

Expected Results:  
File should be created as /foo/bar/dmy.txt

This is caused by AppletInterface::contextualActionsAboutToShow not firing for popups, so the call to update the location used by the new submenu doesn't run.

Fix up for review https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128562/

Git commit 8665999ee70935e18a1e5b2a4032697842334959 by Eike Hein.

Pushed by hein into branch 'master'.

Emit contextualActionsAboutToShow before showing the applet's contextualActions menu.

This is done by ContainmentInterface::mousePressEvent, but not in this
code path, which is hit for applet panel popups.

Folder View relies on this to update actions ahead of the menu being
opened.
