I think it seems to be more to do with the ownership/permissions on the folder rather than its location. If you create a folder outside /home/user but with the same ownership and permissions then the create file/folder menu works (In reply to Paul Worrall from comment #1) > I think it seems to be more to do with the ownership/permissions on the > folder rather than its location.

I tried chmod 777 on folders outside home/user and even then Dolphin did not allow me to make new items. Copying and pasting works fine as well as any Save As menu in applications. This started since the upgrade to Plasma 6.0 Seems to be fixed in git master so worth checking in 24.02.2 next week |
Created attachment 167297 [details] Version information of current installation. SUMMARY *** Since the recent update to Plasma 6.0 Dolphin has been changed as well. It looks like Dolphin no longer allows the right click submenu to create files and folders anywhere outside of the /home/user folder. It used to be possible everywhere and if there wasn't write access a password prompt or error message would appear. Now the option is greyed out entirely. Even when using the Open As Administrator option the Create New submenu still won't allow the user to make folders/files. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Navigating to anywhere outside /home/user 2. Rightclicking anywhere in a folder. 3. Attempting to create new files/folders with the right mouse button context menu. OBSERVED RESULT Create New menu option is greyed out however it is possible to do this in other applications like under a Save As menu. Also write access works fine with other applications. EXPECTED RESULT Being able to use the Create New menu to create folders and files in any folder with write access. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS See attached screenshot. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
