Description Gerrit Großkopf 2024-04-19 16:02:03 UTC
Hi, first of all thank you for the ton of Work you put into making my work possible :)

SUMMARY

I often find myself copying a path that starts with smb:// and make it avaliable to my colleagues who use Windows. This brings with it a communication error, My Dolphin allows taking in Windows style paths and autoconverts them to smb:// format despite what #485731 sais (maybe that's only applicable for certain versions), but the other way round does not work. I cannot send my colleagues smb:// links and expect them to just use them.

This means I have to spend a lot of time replacing / with \ in text. This happens so often, that a colleauge allready wrote a commandline tool to convert those two formats.

I would Absolutely love to see in the address field context menu for right clicking on the path "copy in Windows format" or something like that below the normal copy.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open a smb path
2. mark the path, right click on it, copy it
3. notice that when sending it to a Windows colleague you would need to rewrite the path

OBSERVED RESULT

I need to adjust the copied path replacing all / with \ and rewriting the start

EXPECTED RESULT

I would be offered "copy Windows path"
