SUMMARY *** When logged in as a regular user, and then using the super-user version of Dolphin to copy/paste, I am able to "copy" the files but everywhere I try to paste them the "paste" option (from the right-click menu) is missing. Ctrl-V doesn't work either. Under the menu-bar if you click "Edit" the Paste option is greyed out. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the "Super User" version of file manager 2. Browse to a folder and right-click on a file and select "copy" 3. Right-click and there is no "paste" option. Additionally "paste" in the pull-down menu's is greyed out OBSERVED RESULT Unable to paste while in the super-user version of Dolphin. Additionally I typically use this to copy files that are out of my regular users permission tree (such as docker volumes). If I "copy" from there in the super-user Dolphin, then open a regular dolphin the Paste option is present. However, in this case the non-super-user version of Dolphin doesn't have permission to paste the files so I get a permission error. The only way I can copy or move files (some with long difficult to type names!) is to use the console EXPECTED RESULT Cut/Copy/Paste work as usual for graphical programs while in the super-user version of Dolphin. This just started happening after upgrade to Plasma-6 (I'm on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Option was available and seemed to work in Plasma 5.27/Dolphin 23.08, so this appears to be a regression. Could possibly be caused by the same issue as bug 482899 but I'll let someone with more experience make that judgement.
Running as a super-user is not recommended and unsupported. Please see kio-admin
