Description Alexander Potashev 2025-04-04 13:01:11 UTC
SUMMARY
Cannot drag file into the Open File dialog's Name field.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open "Open File" dialog, e.g. for uploading a file in Chrome.
2. Open a folder with files in Dolphin
3. Drag a file from Dolphin onto the "Name:" field in the "Open File" dialog.

OBSERVED RESULT
Mouse cursor changes to the red circle (meaning "forbidden"), nothing happens when I release LMB.

As a workaround, I could drop the file in the directory list view to get the file selected, but it's not logical because drag&dropping files between directory lists typically means copying/moving files. As of today, we have inconsistency which causes confusion.

EXPECTED RESULT
The dragged file path should be inserted into the "Name:" field, the file at path should be selected in the "Open File" dialog. KF5 had this behavior.
