Reproduce: 1. Open Browser (tested with Firefox and Chromium) 2. Visit page with long URL, e.g. https://www.google.de/maps/dir/North+Pole,+AK,+United+States/Mexico+City,+Mexico/@49.9739648,-132.3287779,4z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x51324d51d5c5f2b9:0xda1a7714d9d98964!2m2!1d-147.3494444!2d64.7511111!1m5!1m1!1s0x85ce0026db097507:0x54061076265ee841!2m2!1d-99.133208!2d19.4326077!3e0 3. Drag and drop the URL by dragging the address bar icon to the desktop or another folder and choose "Link here" 4. The following error message appears: ``` Error -- Dolphin Could not write to /home/user1/tmp/https:⁄⁄www.google.de⁄maps⁄dir⁄North+Pole,+AK,+United+States⁄Mexico+City,+Mexico⁄@49.9739648,-132.3287779,4z⁄data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x51324d51d5c5f2b9:0xda1a7714d9d98964!2m2!1d-147.3494444!2d64.7511111!1m5!1m1!1s0x85ce0026db097507:0x54061076265ee841!2m2!1d-99.133208!2d19.4326077!3e0.desktop. ``` Expected: The desktop file should be created; illegal characters should be replaced and/or the filename should be truncated if it is too long. (Out-of-scope and probably more a Firefox issue: it would be nice if the page title of the visited web site would be included in the filename)
[I am a GCI student] I can confirm for Ubuntu 14.10. But I do not experience any file name issues.
Changing status to confirmed.
Still an issue in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
Git commit 092beaf6fbab83fc7ab87684bcde0e2e32b4bc8f by Chinmoy Ranjan Pradhan. Committed on 14/05/2019 at 12:25. Pushed by chinmoyr into branch 'master'. Truncate long filname before creating a link Summary: URL of a website can exceed 255 characters. Consequently we cannot create a link to such URL. In such cases try to truncate the filename to 255 characters.
