SUMMARY The Places panel allows dragging a place into another place. While it does ask you whether you want to move, copy or link before it does anything, this menu is still confusing to new users. If a user is trying to reorder places, they might click on Move and end up moving a directory into another directory instead. This seems like something that should just be disallowed (by default?) as it seems like the kind of functionality people would use very rarely. Even worse, when a directory is moved into another directory, there is absolutely no visual feedback in the sidebar, so the user could be moving directories without even realizing it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add places to Dolphin Places panel 2. Attempt to reorder places, dragging a place onto another place 3. Thoughtlessly click Move Here when the context menu pops up OBSERVED RESULT The directory will be quietly moved into the destination directory instead. EXPECTED RESULT Something less confusing SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11
In addition, dragging an entry over the trash entry immediately moves it to the trash without any warning.
As of version 24.02.1 dragging places onto other places appears to be impossible, so this should be closed?
