Description jakubby 2021-01-13 13:16:44 UTC
SUMMARY
User might want to move a file using hot corners, from say the dolphin window, into another window within the desktop grid into another program.

This goes hand in hand with moving a File into another activity, or detaching dolphin tab into another workspace/activity.

A new file manager instance/window might be used by a user from within another activity/workspace as a way of separating the context.

A "open new window" each time is a workaround of sorts, but it gets weird when it is combines with remembering the last session, while the current dolphin session is still in place, producing 2 tabs when launching.

OBSERVED RESULT
None of the described behaviors are working as user intended, visually user is able to move a file into desktop grid, visually take a queue into moving it to a specific window in a different workspace.
Hold off the mouse button and change to a new workspace, the context menu for move,copy,link shows up in all workspaces, user changes to workspace in which he had places the mouse over, click the button and it copies a file back into the same folder within dolphin.



EXPECTED RESULT
User is able to move/copy/link/place files from within grid view.
User is able to detach dolphin into another workspace and/or activity.
Dolphin shouldn't try to restore it is old session, when launching new windows, when other instances of dolphin are running.
[Perhaps some users will disagree on whether this should be opt-in or opt-out]:
User is able to create a new window in a new workspace/activity, otherwise all new folders opened from plasmashell should recognize which activity/workspace we are part of.



SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2


I will link all of those related issues in every single one of them and link them together, as it requires some degree of cooperation between those 3 modules(dolphin, plasmashell, kwin).

Thanks for the observations. However each bug report can only have one issue in it, not several. Can you please open new bug reports, one per issue? Thanks!

Bug 431538 is a good start; please continue opening new bugs for each other request too.

I am terrible sorry for doing that, I haven't actually used the search feature.
I will definitely save you guys trouble of looking through duplicates, by searching for the issues ahead of time, voted on the related thing.
