SUMMARY Issue introduced in Plasma 6. When dragging and dropping files between Dolphin windows or split views, the action will no longer be detected if the mouse cursor is touching another file. For example if you drag one image over another image in the target window, the image won't be copied or moved any more and nothing happens, it only works if the image is dragged to an empty space instead. In the past this was only intended for directories so you could drop things into them. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Open two Dolphin instances or enable split view with F3. Navigate each one to a different directory that isn't empty. Drag and drop a selection from one window to another, but let go of the file being dragged from window #1 over a file in window #2. OBSERVED RESULT The copying or moving action won't occur. EXPECTED RESULT Previous intended behavior was that only directories detect dropping over their icon; When dropping over another file, the dragged file should be moved or copied near it.

>Issue introduced in Plasma 6. I have a Dolphin 23.08.1 here which shows the exact behaviour your are describing here. I can not drop onto another file here either. So from what I can tell this is not a regression. >EXPECTED RESULT >Previous intended behavior was that only directories detect >dropping over their icon; When dropping over another file, >the dragged file should be moved or copied near it. I guess this would make sense. Dropping one file into another never makes sense in Dolphin, so if we interpret it as dropping into the folder that contains the file being dropped on users won't have to aim as precisely anymore when drag and dropping files. At least I don't see a downside to this proposal.
