Description Damglador 2025-02-01 10:51:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
I can drag and drop a file on my script if it's on my desktop, and it'll pass that file to the script and execute the script. That doesn't work in Dolphin

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a folder with a script and a file
2. Make test script (example below), make it executable
3. Try to drag and drop a file on it in Dolphin (don't use valuable files)

Script example:
#!/bin/bash

rm "$1"

OBSERVED RESULT
In Dolphin dragging a file to the script shows 🚫 on the cursor.

EXPECTED RESULT
Drag and dropping a file on a script in Dolphin should execute the script with the file passed to it.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

I've verified this on Dolphin 24.12.1 as well as Dolphin built from git-master

It is inconsistent behavior, since as a user I would expect to be able to have the same behavior when dropping a file onto another file whether on the desktop or in Dolphin. The desktop folder is just another folder, from the user's perspective.
