Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-07-15 19:45:31 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have images on your Desktop organized in a specific order.
2. Copy these images to a folder.
3. Delete the images on the desktop.
4. Move the images from the folder with Dolphin by dragging them to Desktop under "Places" (instead of dragging into the Desktop itself).

OBSERVED RESULT
The images appear in the same specific order as the deleted images. 

EXPECTED RESULT
The images should not *know* its deleted copies' position.

Those images in question were Haruna .jpg screenshots.

Just confirmed that deleted .mp4 videos are also storing their location post-deletion.

Comment 2 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-08-05 20:16:14 UTC

You can reproduce it by taking a screenshot, uploading to a cloud service, Shift+Del the screenshot, then download the screenshot.
It will go to the same place (It actually goes one block to the right due to Bug 495047 ).

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-08-08 17:05:23 UTC

I cannot reproduce this issue as reported on current git master. Dragging the item to the "Desktop" places entry positions it in the top-left corner as I would expect for an item without stored position data. Tried with an MP4 video, even though I don't believe this is file type specific.

It's possible it was fixed recently by some other Folder View fixed that are going into 6.4.5 and 6.5.0.

Can you attach a screen recording that shows it happening?

Comment 4 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-08-08 19:53:35 UTC

It doesn't seem to be storing it now in 6.4.4
Re-downloading the file is now putting it one space under where it should, but that's due to Bug 495319

1- Copy the .jpg to a folder.
2- Move the .jpg to another folder.
3- Move the copied .jpg into Dolphin's Places' Desktop.

Result:
Bizarre positioning.
