Description JR 2025-09-20 23:19:27 UTC
SUMMARY
The QR code displayed if you press Show Network's QR Code cannot be right-clicked and saved as an image file, but can be dragged. Dragging it into a Dolphin window does nothing. Dragging it onto a Plasma desktop spawns a KIO client error and leaves behind an empty Media Frame widget.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin and navigate to somewhere writeable
2. Select a network in the Network Connections widget
3. Press Show Network's QR Code
4. Observe the cursor becoming a grab icon as you mouseover the code, and that right-clicking it does nothing
5. Drag the code into Dolphin
6. Drag the code onto the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
When dragging the code into the Dolphin window, the cursor changes to one that suggests something will be added, but it ends up silently doing nothing. When dragging the code onto the desktop, it errors with a KIO Client error message and leaves behind an empty Media Frame.

> Error -- KIO Client
> The file or folder /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.mediaframe/contents/ui/[object Object] does not exist.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally dragging it to both the Dolphin window and the desktop would create an image file of the QR code there. But before that, perhaps the code should be possible to right-click and save as an image file. Maybe copy to clipboard too?

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS/Arch x86_64
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I just wanted to save the QR code so I could send it to someone, but I ended up having to take a screenshot of the widget. I initially assumed I would be able to right-click it and pick Save, and failing that I tried the dragging.

Can confirm.
