(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kdelibs
Version:           KDE 3.0.2 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

It'd be great if standard Save As dialogs had an object or icon which could be dragged & dropped somewhere. That would be convenient especially if you really don't want to save a file (for instance something downloaded from the Web) but you want to open it with an app. It would also be convenient if you already had open a folder that you want to save something in.

This would come in handy a lot of times for me when Konqueror for some reason doesn't realize it can display images and asks me what to do with them. Yes I realize that's a bug in Konqueror but I can see such draggable objects being useful in non-buggy situations ;)

On the other hand the Save As dialog might not be the best place; perhaps if applications had a separate action just for dragging e.g. File->Drag to.... Just a thought.

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.

I am merging all bugs about drag & drop support in kfile dialogs. Comment #0 speaks about Save dialog only, but it should work for Load dialogs, too.
