Can reproduce. Not limited to just when using the desktop:// IOWorker; seems like a folder view issue? Indeed when pasting into a Folder View widget, I see the same thing. I can confirm it still happens on today's master (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Can reproduce. Not limited to just when using the desktop:// IOWorker; seems > like a folder view issue?

So it seems to be something that Plasma/Folder View does that Dolphin does not. (Or, of course, something that Dolphin does to prevent the notification). *** Bug 500081 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 500410 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** > Note that Dolphin shows the same dialog, but handles canceling the dialog gracefully, without displaying an error. So this seems to be a plasmashell issue, not frameworks-kio. According to bug 438519 (comment #3) dolphin might do it's own thing and implement the dialog independently which is maybe why it does not appear there *** Bug 502367 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** It seems PasteJob returns ERR_NO_CONTENT in all cases, be it user cancel or actually no mime data available. Probably needs to be improved to return ERR_USER_CANCELED when one of the dialog prompts get canceled by the user. |
Created attachment 173632 [details] notification log showing empty error notification SUMMARY When an image (not image file) is in the clipboard and pasted on the desktop, plasmashell correctly shows the dialog from KIO (pastedialog). When pressing "cancel" in this dialog, however, plasmashell plays an audio alert and displays an otherwise empty error notification. Notifying the user that they pressed cancel on a dialog is generally not necessary, and if it was, it should come with some text that explains what it is about. Note that Dolphin shows the same dialog, but handles canceling the dialog gracefully, without displaying an error. So this seems to be a plasmashell issue, not frameworks-kio. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Take a screenshot with Spectacle. 2. Press the Copy button 3. Click the desktop and press Ctrl+V 4. In the dialog that opens, press Cancel. OBSERVED RESULT A sound plays and an empty error notification is displayed. (See screenshot from the notification log) EXPECTED RESULT No sound, no notification, just abort the pasting action.
