Okay, so if I understand this bug correctly, Dropbox deprecated direct links from the public folder and you now need to use a shared link for that, but Dolphin does not allow you to create these shared links from the context menu. Is that correct? And does this still happen with a newer version of Dolphin/the plugin? Hmm, it works just fine if I right-click on any file within ~/Dropbox and choose "Copy Dropbox Link". Or is this about something else? I don't have a "Create Dropbox Link" entry or a public folder so maybe this is already fixed? @rjx_, it'd be great if you could answer the questions from comment 2 which would allow us to further triage this bug. Thanks! Ah, sorry for the long silence. Let's see, when i click Copy Dropbox Link in Dolphin's context menu (anywhere in Dropbox (sub)folder(s)) now it does the following: taskbar is unresponsive for about half a minute, then Copied link on 'filename' notification appears but there's actually nothing new in the clipboard. And btw alt-tabbing works just fine while taskbar is hanging. I.e. behavior is still essentially the same as before - trying to get a public link for any file anywhere in Dropbox folder(s) results in failure and taskbar hangs with no usable links produced ever. env: plasma 5.13.3 kf 5.47 qt 5.11.1 dolphin 18.04.3 dropbox 53.4.67 (In reply to rjx_ from comment #4) > Ah, sorry for the long silence. > Let's see, when i click Copy Dropbox Link in Dolphin's context menu > (anywhere in Dropbox (sub)folder(s)) now it does the following: > taskbar is unresponsive for about half a minute, then Copied link on > 'filename' notification appears but there's actually nothing new in the > clipboard.

Whatever app you try to paste the clipboard contents to hangs for a while, which seems to indicate that garbage or excessively long text is being added to the clipboard. I use default Plasma Clipboard tray widget as a clipboard manager, but iirc usually it can process huge amounts of text at once (it may hang for a little while though). In this case however i see nothing in both Clipboard widget listing & secondary clipboard (middleclick one), so i assumed it just did not work and hanged for some other reason. This bug is still there in Plasma 5.18.5 (on Kubuntu 20.04.2) and Dolphin/dolphin-plugins 19.12.3. |
