Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) Compiler: gcc 4.2.3 Packaged as ArchLinux pkg.tar.gz OS: Linux Installed from: Unspecified Linux At certain times when copying and pasting files in konqueror the Edit Copy/Paste and right click Copy/Paste is greyed out, although its possible to copy the files/folders. It seems to happen when konqueror has a tab open which is connected to a site or when connected through another KIO (such as samba through remote:/). It happens at other times as well (seems to be random in behavior) Copying files through dolphin is a workaround for this problem.

I can confirm: Cut and Copy on the right-click menu are sometimes grayed out (disabled) in Konqueror. I am currently using kdelibs-4.1.2-2.fc10.i386 from Fedora Rawhide. Dragging the files using the mouse does, however, work. As said in the previous comment, using Dolphin works. How to reproduce: From a console, start: $ konqueror --profile filemanagement Navigate by *only* using the mouse, right-click and see that cut/copy is active and works. Now, navigate using the Location bar. Eg. Type "~/Documents/" and press enter. Right-click on a file in that folder: Now cut/copy is grayed out. So, I think this is connected with using the Location bar somehow, or with keyboard input. In the above, I did not use tabs. PS. konqueror spit out the following when I did that described above: "/usr/bin/konqueror(5336)" Error in thread 3086075760 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The nameepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files" "/usr/bin/konqueror(5336)" Error in thread 3086075760 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" konqueror(5336)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/home/gronslet/Documents/.ication" but no Exec line
Confirmed in 4.1.2 on Kubuntu (going to "~/Documents/" using the location bar) but it seems to work fine in trunk rev. 868661 (which is going to become KDE 4.2). Looks like a duplicate of bug 172200.
I've found the first report. This will be fixed in KDE 4.1.3 as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 172014 ***
