dragging and dropping files

Drag-and-Drop elements from list view applications, e.g. ARK, creates a solid background, therefore obfuscating items underneath.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a third-party application.
2. Drag and drop files in list view
3. See a solid background, making it impossible to see items underneath, or targeting.

OBSERVED RESULT
It very difficult to drag-and-drop elements into folders or at speficic places, when they are hidden underneath a solid background.

EXPECTED RESULT
Semi-transparent background in drag-and-drop zone.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2020-05-07 16:29:42 UTC
Confirmed. That would be a bug/visual issue in Ark though. Perhaps it should make them semi-transparent while dragging? IIRC macOS does that.
Comment 2 knecker 2020-05-08 07:58:31 UTC
That would be the solution exactly.
Comment 3 John Veness 2024-11-01 23:42:42 UTC
Dragging and dropping multiple items from list view in Dolphin turns them into smaller icons, making it easier to see what's underneath. For consistency, I think Ark should do the same.
