Summary: Drag and drop from one places menu to another needs a
smart context menu
Product: kfile
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: NachMS gmail com
Version: (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
OS: Linux
When having two places menu open, and an entry is dragged from one to another, a copy is made in the places menu.
What really needs to happen is for a context menu to appear. In the case where the particular entry is specific to the places menu in a program, 4 possible options should appear:
1) Copy entry to other application's places, and make it specific
2) Make that entry non specific, so it's in all places menus.
3) Really just copy it, but as a global, so the originating menu will now in fact have it twice.
4) Cancel
In the case where it's not specific, only 2 are needed:
1) Really copy
2) Cancel
To be honest though, really copying it in the non specific case seems odd, and is most likely not what a user wants. Although I'm not sure why one would try to drag from one to another in this case. But the blind copy currently done seems certainly to me as not the right thing to do.
