Created attachment 184285 [details] clicking and dragging has no move option SUMMARY It was possible previously to click and drag a screenshot taken from the notifications window directly to the desktop. It is no longer possible now. (This behaviour change happened after updating to KDE frameworks 6.17.0) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Take a screenshot with spectacle 2. Click and drag on the screenshot from the notification window to the desktop OBSERVED RESULT There is no move option, only copy and link EXPECTED RESULT There should be a move option (this was available previously) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux Kernel: 6.12.41-1-MANJARO (64-bit) KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Wayland
Thank you for the bug report! However Plasma 6.3.6 no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE; active versions are 6.4 or newer. Please upgrade to an active version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. If you need help with Plasma 6.3.6, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE. If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Can confirm that this bug still exists in the following system version: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1
What does "resolved downstream" mean? The bug still exists
We just received another update to plasma and i'm now on version 6.5.4 with KDE gear 25.12 and the problem still persists Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.62-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Kind reminder that this is still an issue. It is a regression that wasn't there before the bug was filed.
This regression still persists in the current version Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.25.0 Qt Version: 6.11.0 Kernel Version: 6.18.26-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Created attachment 192191 [details] Issue reproducing after dragging the icon from the notification to the desktop It's worth noting that this bug isn't limited to Spectacle. The issue also appears when dragging the icon of a newly-downloaded file from the "Downloading (finished)" notification to a Dolphin window or to the desktop. The pop-up list used to have an option to simply move the file, but the option has been missing for a number of versions now. Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux forky/sid KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.23.0 Qt Version: 6.10.2 Kernel Version: 7.0.4+deb14-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
I can reproduce the issue.
*** Bug 509233 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please can someone consider making a fix for this? 🙏🏻 I don't know why the move option was removed from the menu more than a year ago...
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/7145
ooh! some activity! will this finally be fixed? I'm excited! :D
Git commit 3f4065f4691eb4604c43e1ca73f391edb01b0623 by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 01/10/2026 at 18:57. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/notifications: explicitly allow copy/link actions d6016d8401c4a28928c7d641df73fbddec83871d explicitly set Qt::CopyAction as the supported action for drag&drop from a notification. This was done because the default action, move, interfered with drag&drop to various windows caused issues: moving files to e.g. Discord or a browser does not really make sense, so the app rejects the drop and marks the cursor as an invalid drop target. However, this also removes Move as an option from the KIO drop dialog. (LinkAction still works, likely because we inject that as Wayland does not support it natively) Instead, we set the supported actions to CopyAction | MoveAction | LinkAction, and set CopyAction as the default. This brings move back into the KIO popup, and dropping on e.g. browsers and discord still works fine.
