Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux When having two places menu open, and an entry is dragged from one to another, a copy is made in the places menu. What really needs to happen is for a context menu to appear. In the case where the particular entry is specific to the places menu in a program, 4 possible options should appear: 1) Copy entry to other application's places, and make it specific 2) Make that entry non specific, so it's in all places menus. 3) Really just copy it, but as a global, so the originating menu will now in fact have it twice. 4) Cancel In the case where it's not specific, only 2 are needed: 1) Really copy 2) Cancel To be honest though, really copying it in the non specific case seems odd, and is most likely not what a user wants. Although I'm not sure why one would try to drag from one to another in this case. But the blind copy currently done seems certainly to me as not the right thing to do.
This is no longer applicable since Places Panels are handled globally and their content is synced--except for app-specific entries. For those, the current behavior makes sense.
I'm not entirely convinced some kind of context menu when dragging and dropping these isn't helpful, but I do agree that since the early KDE 4, things are much better now. The ability to edit an entry in the places menu allows you to get what you want, and dragging and dropping between applications and say Dolphin now has saner defaults. At this point the feature isn't really as must-have as it was 10 years back when I made it. Thanks for reviewing this.
You're welcome, and sorry I have to close so many of your bugs! I'm trying to make the bugtracker useful again by only having open things that are still relevant and that we intend to fix or implement. Thanks for your understanding!
