Comment 1 Frank Reininghaus 2012-02-07 20:04:52 UTC
Thanks for the bug report!

@Peter: I've noticed that in Dolphin 1.x, a drop on a file (no matter if it's the same file or not) is interpreted as a drop in the folder containing the file. I think that this behavior is considered correct, right?
Comment 2 Frank Reininghaus 2012-02-07 20:07:30 UTC
(To be precise, another user made me aware of what the 1.x behavior was by e-mail).
Comment 3 Frank Reininghaus 2012-02-07 20:40:29 UTC
I forgot to mention that dropping a file on a *different* file actually crashes Dolphin (assert in KonqOperations::asyncDrop() because that function expects either a directory, a desktop file, or an executable as the drop target).

Ah, I introduced this regression - will try to fix it today.

Yes: Dropping above a no-directory-file should just drop it into the parent (that's why no hover-notification is done on those files when dragging; still of course there might be better ways to indicate this for the users)

Drag and drop: Adjust destination if the item is no directory or desktop-file

The URL of the view should be used as destination target if a dropping is not
done above a directory or desktop-file.
