Ship it!


Ah, now I understand. Before hitting Undo, the user could change the clipboard, and then if it's totally unrelated, KIO shouldn't touch it. Got it.

Thanks for your patience :-)

However, addressing these issues require a careful consideration of how to do it since delete/rename/move operations can be done outside of KDE's control. Do we simply fix the KIO jobs to handle this or do we address it the KDirWatch level so we catch all the scenarios? Probably the latter. Anyhow, that can wait until for the 134960 fix.
