Dolphin window with context menu of location bar opened
Right click menu for parent folder Dolphin 24.02.2 |
||
One glaring (for me at least) inconsistency between the breadcrumb context menu and the other folder related ones (both the normal one in the main view and the one in the Places sidebar at least) is that the latter provides options to open the folder in a new window and a new tab, whereas the former only provides an option to open the folder in a new tab, which isn't great when I'd like to see the contents of both folders at once. I confirm this behavior with Plasma 6 Additionally, the new context folder has conflicting behavior. On the one hand, the "Open With" entries in the menu refer to the menu that was right clicked On the other hand, the Copy menu command copies the child directory shown in the window Created attachment 169518 [details]

Created attachment 127997 [details] Dolphin window with context menu of location bar opened It would be really useful if clicking on an item in the location bar (breadcrumb mode) opened the context menu for that folder (possibly with the current context menu items added). At the moment the context menu that is opened seems to apply to the whole location bar. That can be confusing. For example when right clicking on a parent directory item in the location bar (as in the attached screenshot) and selecting "Copy". The full path is copied, not the path to that directory. A use case that sometimes arises for me is that I want to open the properties of the parent directory to check its size. There that feature would help as well.
