Description Federico 2015-06-27 12:56:12 UTC
Without libkonq-frameworks, dolphin "create new" context menu only shows "connection to device". I cannot create new folders/files from there.
dolphin-git r4891.1c1efb9-1

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open dolphin (without having libkonq frameworks installed)
2. right click on a blank space
3. go to create new submenu

Actual Results:  
create new submenu has only one option

Expected Results:  
Some more options (actually i have 7 with libkonq installed)

* Kf 5.11
* qt 5.4 
* plasma 5.3.1

Thanks for the bug report. This is not exactly a Dolphin issue - see 350769 for a discussion on this topic.

Unfortunately, it seems that there was not much progress so far. Since this is not a Dolphin issue, we should probably reassign it to a more suitable product. I think that the entries in the "Create New..." menu should probably either be moved from lib/konq to kio (which provides the infrastructure for the menu) or to kio-extras.

@David: What do you think?

Comment 11 Alice 2015-09-22 18:22:21 UTC
Just to confirm, the patch in comment #8 worked to add most of the right click functions back. I'm using Kubuntu 15.10 64bit kernel 4.2.0-10-generic Plasma 5.4.1 Qt Version 5.4.2. Still no Ark options on right click, but create folder, txt, send to et al returned after applying patch.
Comment 12 Janet 2015-09-22 23:21:00 UTC
Is it possible for us users to bypass this by copying or linking something somewhere as a temporary workaround?
Comment 13 Nikola Schnelle 2015-09-23 00:42:02 UTC
In kubuntu install libkonq-common package to workaround this bug.
Comment 14 Ralf Jung 2015-09-27 14:42:16 UTC
I am having the problem that the context menu entires for Ark are not shown, a regression compared to KDE4. Bug 351904, which looks like it is fitting, has been closed as a duplicate of this - but here I can't follow anymore. I do see some service menu entries, like the bluetooth ones and "Create New", but Ark is missing. I have libkonq-common installed (Debian testing). Am I seeing the same bug?

This is a different issue (bug 350769).

> Bug 351904, which looks like it is fitting

That report is a mix of two different issues, namely, the "Create New..." menu issue (the present report) and bug 350769. At first sight, these issues look similar, and I also thought first that they might have the same root cause, but it turns out that this is not the case.

>  have libkonq-common installed (Debian testing).

Hm, actually, bug 350769 is also due to a the lack of a file from lib/konq. I'm not sure if Debian includes this file in their package.
Comment 16 Ralf Jung 2015-09-29 09:50:13 UTC
They do include it:

  libkonq-common: /usr/share/kde4/servicetypes/konqpopupmenuplugin.desktop

But, that's a KDE4 folder, so how should this help with a KDE5-based dolphin...?

Right, then this does probably not help, but you said that you do have the "Create New..." entries in the context menu, which are also part of lib/konq. This is why I assumed that this Debian package installs the lib/konq stuff in a directory which is accessible for KF5-based applications.
Comment 18 Ralf Jung 2015-09-29 20:07:14 UTC
That's the only file of exactly that name that I have installed.

Git commit 1b98a313983b75f3340639e5cd9519c56fca7113 by Frank Reininghaus.
Committed on 06/10/2015 at 08:13.
Pushed by freininghaus into branch 'master'.

Move the entries for the "Create New" menu from kde-baseapps/lib/konq to kio

It would be great if the translations from lib/konq in kde-baseapps
could be merged. Thanks!
