Description Jonas 2021-11-01 02:07:22 UTC

I often download pdfs and then rename them in dolphin with the title of the document that I either copied from a website or from the document itself. When doing this I regularly end up with unwanted linebreaks in the filename, for two reasons:
* when selecting a line of text by double clicking in the browser and then copying with ctrl+c, the string that ends up in the clipboard is usually terminated with a newline
* when copying the title out of the pdf itself, it is often broken in two lines if the title is too long for one line
I don't want to have linebreaks in a filename in any situation, and can't think of a use case where they're desirable. Therefore I suggest that dolphin automatically eats all linebreaks that are inserted when renaming files via F2.

Comment 4 fanzhuyifan 2023-11-09 04:14:58 UTC

Given that now dolphin can display multi-line filenames (422998), and can handle renaming those reasonably (452587), should this issue be considered fixed?
