SUMMARY Drag and drop operation from qenview into dolphin is broken, it works for the first time, but doing it a second time with different files, always tries to copy the files from the first drap and drop operation STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. drag file A from gwenview into a folder in dolphin (it works) 2. drag file B from gwenview into a folder in dolphin (it tries to copy the file A again, although file B is dragged) OBSERVED RESULT tries to copy the file A from the first drag operation,when doing a second opeartion with file B EXPECTED RESULT file B gets copied SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Graphics Platform: X11
dragging files into other apps like konsole seems normally. Restarting dolphin fixes the problem and it works one time again (so it could be that the problem is also dolpin related)
Better way to reproduce, show the bug: STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. drag multiple files (A) from gwenview into a folder in dolphin (it works) 2. drag file (B) from gwenview into a folder in dolphin (it tries to copy/overwrite the files (A) selected in step (1.) again, although only one file (B) is dragged)
can confirm this bug exists on garuda 5.26.4 / 5.102.0 / 5.15.7 / apps 22.08 gentoo 5.26.4 / 5.100.0 / 5.15.7 / apps 22.12 but does not appear on void linux 5.26.3 / 5.101.0 / 5.15.7 / apps 22.08.2 whats really interesting is that it only works with gwenview+dolphin. gwenview+pcmanfm as well as dolphin+firefox work just fine would really like to know any workaround (even the evil ones) because i rebuilt the whole system and deleted all the configs but still havent solved this bug
downgrading to plasma 5.26.2 / frameworks 5.99.0 / apps 22.08.2 didnt help. the problem might be in qt, not plasma
the bug also happens when copying files between two gwenview windows.
can be solved by downgrading gwenview to 21.12.3. yes, not even 22.08 i also downgraded qt to 5.15 just in case but i dont think it's necessary
I can confirm problem on Arch, with gewnview 22.12.1-1
I found commit responsible for this bug: https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/commit/b6e8d6a9786937602e76d3ed26ca2ba4043b2336 gwenview compiled from current master with this patch reversed works properly. Harald @sitter is the author.
reverting the commit b6e8d6a9786937602e76d3ed26ca2ba4043b2336 fixes the bug for me too
i would like those who can confirm this bug to also try drag-n-drop images from notifications to dolphin, for example with `spectacle -fb` it also seems broken for me and it might be somehow related to this bug
I confirm it exists on a Gentoo based distro.
