Copy progress is displayed as a floating window (desireable)
Additional note:
I'm currently using the following rules in Sway to work around this:
for_window [title="^(File|Folder)\s*Already Exists\s*—\s*" app_id="dolphin|org.kde.ark"] floating enable
for_window [title="^(Copying|Moving)\s*—\s*Dolphin" app_id="dolphin"] floating enable
for_window [title="^Extracting\s" app_id="(dolphin|org.kde.ark)"] floating enable
for_window [title="^Information\s*—\s*Dolphin" app_id="dolphin"] floating enable
for_window [title="^Loading archive" app_id="org.kde.ark"] floating enable
This has undesired consequences if say a folder is called Copying - it makes the dolphin main window float if such a folder is entered, which is not acceptable.
Moving to KIO which is the library that provides those windows. Thank you Elvis. It's probably worth noting that Ark does the same thing with it's extract windows and I'm guessing that it too uses KIO for this functionality. |
Created attachment 123802 [details] Copy progress is displayed as a tiled window (undesired) If dolphin is running under Sway window manager and QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland, some of dolphin's dialogue windows don't provide hints that allows Sway to treat them as floating windows. Some of these dialogues are Copying/Moving/File|Folder Already Exists/Information/Extracting... STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland 2. run sway 3. run dolphin and try copying some files OBSERVED RESULT Copying progress window is displayed as a tiled window EXPECTED RESULT Copying progress window is displayed as a floating window ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Attaching screenshots of what it looks like/what it should look like
