Description Axel Braun 2024-05-02 09:12:25 UTC
I have a dolphin window open with a webdavs folder. 
From an email I drag a PDF over the window and drop it.

Actual result: As soon as I release the mouse button the file is opened with Ocular (the action dialog - move/copy/cancel - is shortly displayed, but disappears too quick to select action

Expected result: the action dialog is displayed to select an action

reproduceable: always

Comment 1 Axel Braun 2024-05-09 07:57:40 UTC
Update: the issue seems to be only if I drop a PDF attachment from KMail, not between dolphin folders.

I still see the issue in 25.08.3 
Copying a photo from gwenview into webdavs folder. Transfer just does not start
Download from folder is no problem

I'm not able to reproduce this in Dolphin built from git-master or 25.08.3.
When I drag and drop txt, webm, pdf or jpg files from one Dolphin pane into another with a webdav folder in Dolphin, I'm asked if I want to move, copy, or link
Dragging a file from Gwenview also brings up that context menu. Copying a file to the webdav share completes.

Since you can also drag between Dolphin folders into the webdav share, it's not your webdav setup causing issues.

Does this also happen on Wayland or only in an X11 session?

Tried on wayland with a small file, that worked. Copying a larger file (5 MB) same result as on X11 - from the network activity it looks like there is an upload taking place, but the little activity pop-up remains and nothing arrives in the webdavs share

Also, this has now turned into two issues.
1. The action dialog not appearing when dragging and dropping a file - is this still happening?

2. Transferring a larger file fails, transfer does not start
On Dolphin built from git-master, I observed
- Trying to drag & drop a 10MB zip file from one Dolphin window to another connected to webdav (Nextcloud server) produced an error
"Could not connect to host webdavs://server.name.com/uri/filename.zip"
- Dragging and dropping a small 15k file in the same way was successful

This made me remember that Nextcloud / php has a file limit over php which is likely come into play
Does your webdav server have any file limit on it?

Where did you read that from? I never said that. The action dialog appears, but never disappears (as the copy process does not finish)

Not as far as I know. I used to copy even larger files (gmx.de)
As you could reproduce the Issue, I feel we can set it to 'confirmed'
