            Bug ID: 444747
           Summary: automatically remove newlines from filenames when
                    renaming
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.08.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: jonas743 at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

I often download pdfs and then rename them in dolphin with the title of the
document that I either copied from a website or from the document itself. When
doing this I regularly end up with unwanted linebreaks in the filename, for two
reasons:
* when selecting a line of text by double clicking in the browser and then
copying with ctrl+c, the string that ends up in the clipboard is usually
terminated with a newline
* when copying the title out of the pdf itself, it is often broken in two lines
if the title is too long for one line
I don't want to have linebreaks in a filename in any situation, and can't think
of a use case where they're desirable. Therefore I suggest that dolphin
automatically eats all linebreaks that are inserted when renaming files via F2.
