SUMMARY I regularly copy several images from several folders to a same folder, with Gwenview. The problem is that, unless I explicitly re-select the destination folder in the dialog for each source folder, the dialog copies the files to ~, even though the desired destination folder was highlighted. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. copy multiple (the bug is about the folder dialog) files from folder "source1" to folder "destination" with F7 in Gwenview. 2. move Gwenview's folder to folder "source2" and repeat the process. 3. As "destination" is still highlighted, I just click "copy" to copy the files into "destination" OBSERVED RESULT Selected files from "source2" are copied to ~ and when I repeat the process for "source3", ~ will be the highlighted folder. EXPECTED RESULT Selected files from "source2" should be copied to "destination" and when I repeat the process for "source3", "destination" will still be highlighted.

Hi - I can't reproduce this on Fedora KDE 41 when following the steps listed there - is there a chance you could capture a screencast/recording demonstrating this so folks might be able to see if there are any nuances to how you're moving around Gwenview or the dialog that could be triggering something? Thanks!
just did a test with a mock folder to make a sreencast, and the bug didn't happen on my machine either. After a bit of playing around, I realized the source folders had to be in a hidden folder for the issue to occur.

Can you perhaps share the specific folder paths you're using? I tried creating source folders that were under a hidden folder, then following those steps to copy to a destination that isn't under a hidden folder on my device, and couldn't reproduce. Thanks!
I did it with .test/1/ ./test/2/ .test/3/ destination/ all within my regular Downloads folder Each numbered folder with multiple images inside. Then I move multiple selected images at once, that way Gwenview calls the folder selector. The single file selector works as intended. At one point in my latest round of tests, I noticed the folder selector move to my home folder in the split second between I pressed enter and the time it closed.
