With your patch, we would ask KonqOperations to drop the items on the text file, right? Will this result in an error message? I think that we should try to keep the current behavior in that situation, i.e., move/copy/link the dropped items in the directory that contains the text file where the items are dropped.

Did you try how either option behaves? In particular whether copying "test1/foo.txt" onto "test2/bar.txt" will result in "test2/foo.txt" or "test2/bar.txt" having the contents of "test1/foo.txt"?
